There was a gorgeous moonrise over Signal Hill today.

Incredible pic!! I tried to take one also but failed miserably. What were your settings?
Well actually, I was very late to arrive at the harbour, from where I obviously took this photo. Usually I plan ahead and set up everything in advance in the right place at the right moment.
This time I had to rush everything including the settings, which were on automatic…
What failed about your shot, if I may ask?
I tried around 10:30 pm. The moon had risen too high. I have only a 135 mm lens. It’s from the new Canon Rebel T4i bundle bought Christmastime. That and being a newbie!
I see, it is indeed tricky getting a decent moon photo that late at night, or at any time after sunset. When it’s dark all photos of an isolated moon look kind of similar anyway, so I always try my luck when it’s near the horizon, which on the day before the full moon is always just before sunset.
After dark, try spot metering the moon, even with a 135mm you can get good results that way.
Hoi Sander,
What a moon!!! On what time did you make this? It look’s about sunset. Am I right?
Yes, the Cabot is basking in the last light of day.
Beautiful shot…..
Thanks Marian 🙂
