Half way there!
This weekend the harvest moon will rise. It is the first full moon of autumn and is usually one of the moonrises that look especially large and close. According to the Moon app on my phone, moonrise will be at 1843 EDT. This time, I think is just about a perfect time for moonrise because sunset is a little after 7, allowing for a nice balance of light. Over the next couple of days, I need to pay attention to where the moon is rising, exactly, and see if I can scope out a location to get a nice moonrise.
I’d love to see it over the lake near my house but it’s usually pretty high in the sky by the time that it makes it over the lake, from my vantage point. Also, I thought of downtown Charlotte, but most of the good locations that I know of fast west. Damn! I’ll figure it out and will be out with both the D700 and P-510.
Keep your cameras ready and get out there with me!

Thanks for reminding me about the harvest moon and to bring my camera along. I’m probably going to miss the moon as I will be flying this weekend. Then again, I may have the best view but probably not the time to take a photo. I know I can move passengers to the back gallery and have the pilots make a couple of circles for me.

I’m sure that they’d do it for you, Monte! I’m sure of it!
I for one would like to hear about Monte doing that!

I started to say I would miss the moon rise because I would be out of town. Duh. Wherever I am, there will be a moon! But, as another commenter said, I might not be in a position to take photos.
I should be off the plane but might be on a train.
In Canada. Eh.

I think that the moon rises in Canada too, Chuck. I think.
We are in for some very cloudy and overcast evenings the next few days so I’m hoping to see some nice images from other bloggers in the next week or so. Just the same, I’ll keep a close watch on the weather.

Our weather is shaping up to have a chance of rain this weekend. I’m hoping that 1) it won’t rain and 2) it won’t be cloudy during moonrise. We’ll see.
I really like this shot Paul – simple and certainly speaks to time of the year. I am not sure if I will be able to see it tonight. I could interrupt a dinner date with my wife to see if I could go outside to look for the moon and a good shot with it, but that is probably pushing it. The benefit might for the next morning when I can get a sunrise shot from the dog house.

Looks like I will not get to see the harvest moon either. It’s rained off and on today and is now fully cloudy.
Hoping for a bit of better weather tomorrow, but the forecast calls for rain again.
Nice shot you’ve got there. Had to look up what “Harvest Moon” was about. Since over here in Australia it happens on our spring equinox rather that the autumnal equinox I’m guessing for us it might be a Sowing Moon maybe? Is there such a thing?
Anyway I like the way you captured the moon with the autumn leaves. It’s nice to see the moon the right way up. Down-under in Australia it’s always upside down. Nuh, just kidding
