SUPER FULL MOON

Experience the magnificence of the super full moon against the backdrop of the Air Force radar at Half Moon Bay, as captured in these mesmerizing shots. Witness the convergence of celestial beauty and man-made technology, harmonizing to create an unforgettable visual spectacle. Join me on this *captivating journey as we explore the wonders of this celestial event, framed by the ethereal glow of the moon and illuminated by the captivating reflections cast upon Pillar Point Harbor.

How could I resist venturing out to capture this breathtaking image? The conditions were simply perfect - not a single cloud or trace of fog in the sky, accompanied by a gentle breeze, paving the way for the arrival of the spectacular Super Full Moon. The only minor drawback was the absence of natural light to illuminate the surrounding landscape. However, a stroke of luck came in the form of the Air Force Base lights, leading towards the radar "ball," casting intriguing reflections across the tranquil waters of Pillar Point Harbor. The convergence of multiple leading lines, drawing the eye towards both the mesmerizing radar and the radiant moon, added an extra layer of visual allure.

Was it worth sacrificing my precious day off and waking up at the crack of dawn, a daunting 4 am? Absolutely! And to my delight, the updated Enhance feature in LightRoom worked wonders in bringing out the best in these extraordinary captures. The resulting images were nothing short of remarkable, thanks to the assistance of LightRoom's improvements.
