  • Fullmoon over Half Dome.  Yosemite Winter 2007.  This was my 'consolation' shot while trying to capture my "Nature's Firefalls" rare image of Horsetail falls at sunset.   I wish that I could say that I had fully researched this shot and was ready for it.  Instead, I was coming back from another failed attempt to capture my Nature's Firefalls image.  When I came around the corner, the moon was sitting there!!  I stopped my car, setup my tripod in the middle of the road (please don't tell the park rangers I did that as it isn't a good idea!)  I captured 4 shots before the moon and Half Dome were totally obscured by the clouds!  I was pretty lucky to capture this - but that is part of photography.  See my Nature's Firefalls image here:  <a href="http://www.jharrisonphoto.com/gallery/2747559_ghkMc/1/281579766_t4hmN/Medium">http://www.jharrisonphoto.com/gallery/2747559_ghkMc/1/281579766_t4hmN/Medium</a>     My portfolio of images can be seen here:  <a href="http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/2747559_ghkMc">http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/2747559_ghkMc</a>
  • "Lunar Eclipse over the Golden Gate"  I went out at sunrise this morning not sure what to expect!  What an awesome sight!  The Lunar Eclipse continued to change.  The blue skies at sunrise with the red moon overhead were just a sight to watch!  It disappeared into the fog just minutes after I shot this! It was worth the 3am start to our fun shooting!  My image made the cover of MSNBC’s web site!     Thanks for viewing my images!

  • "Eating the Moon"   I captured this during my last visit to the Valley of Fire, one of my favorite places to shoot.  I placed the moon during the moonrise in the mouth of the orange rocks here.  Moons always provide a different element to an already beautiful picture.  My other Valley of Fire images can be seen here:  <a href="http://www.jharrisonphoto.com/Landscapes/Rockscapes-in-the-Valley-of">http://www.jharrisonphoto.com/Landscapes/Rockscapes-in-the-Valley-of</a>

  • Moon over Alcatraz.  San Francisco skyline and panorama at sunset.   I went on a private shoot on Alcatraz where we rented out the entire island!  40 photographers had it to ourselves.  It was great - normally there are SO many tourists it isn't possible to get a clear shot and it is WAY too crowded.  This fall evening also happened to be a nice warm 75 degree night!   The lead park ranger took us up on the roof of Alcatraz!!  Some of the other park rangers hadn't even been up there.  The view was amazing!!  This is the panorama view of San Francisco at Dusk and the moon coming up over the Alcatraz Lighthouse.   Such a fantastic place to be!  More Alcatraz images can be seen here: <a href="http://www.jharrisonphoto.com/Landscapes/Alcatraz-San-Francisco-Night/3758304_TaDSP">http://www.jharrisonphoto.com/Landscapes/Alcatraz-San-Francisco-Night/3758304_TaDSP</a>
  • Full Moon over Golden Gate. Taken from the Marin Headlands at dusk, I calculated exactly where the moon was going to be rising and made sure I was camped out to watch.  It popped-up right at dusk with the royal blue skies!   With a little bit of the Golden Gate bridge lit up, it makes QUITE the perfect moon picture!   More moons can be seen in my Moon Gallery with Moonrises, Moonsets and funny placements with the moon!   DSC0939
