This is a photo from the archive, taken a couple of years ago. The moonrise and sunset took place within a few minutes of each other, allowing the capture of the foreground pilings and waves, which were rendered as a mist by the 30-second exposure.Tonight is the full moon, and I'll be out trying to capture whatever magic will be offered this evening. I'm heading to Lake Michigan, hoping that a combination of rocks, water and Mr. Moon will yield something interesting.
I'll let you know what happens.
If you'd care to see a gallery of some of my lunar photos (either of the moon itself or pictures taken by moonlight, check them out at Flickr.

I'm partial to sky shots as well. Although not the expert at getting them you are. Well done!
Thought I'd give this one more shot, always disappointed when I don't see you enter the gonzo carnivals.
Perhaps one that says thank you to members of Blog Village will tickle your fancy.
Those with whom you have link exchanges are also eligible to play along.
Wow, so many wonderful elements to this shot including the zip zagging lines of the pilings drawing you into the photo right to the moon. Lovely.
I love the soft sky colors and the mist on the water. Very beautiful shot James!
Wow! I lived in Evanston for 4 years until 2 months ago... how come I cannot take pictures like this? :-)
Thanks for sharing!
STUNNING.....((sigh))! :)
Wonderful and fabulously surreal, James. I like the way the rocks zig-zag into the distance.
I stumbled upon your blog and I enjoy the shots I've seen. Especially like this shot of the moon and the pilings. Great colors.
