The highly-anticipated rising of the “Supermoon” on the evening of Monday, November 14, 2016, drew me out to a local State park and reservoir well before sunset, and as I looked for the ultimate site to photograph the rising Supermoon, I could see that the eastern horizon was veiled with a thin crystalline haze that would prevent capturing any real definition of the emerging moon’s structures
While sipping a strong black coffee, I sat in my van thinking of my next step. After a few minutes, I started driving around the Lake Road, not ready to give up, just yet. I knew that the west side of the reservoir had an additional access road that ran closer to the reservoir’s water. Perhaps a reflection of the rising moon on the water’s surface would be an interesting photograph, I thought.
Vehicles were parking alongside the road, and people were lining up and down the lakeshore as I drove along the roadway. I parked where there was a gap between two towering cottonwood trees, thinking of using the gap and trees in a composition of the reflection of the Supermoon on the waters surface.
And as it so happens somitimes in photography, a couple moved in between the gap of the cottonwood trees, creating an ideal ‘silhouette’ composition.
