Getting a good photograph of the moon is one of the hardest things for a photog to accomplish.
Which lifeguard station is the one in the foreground?
Thanks! That's a station north of Manhattan Beach.
That was a nightmare of an exposure. It was taken with a pocket camera with a decent zoom but a rather noisy sensor, so I had to take the pix at 80 ISO, prop it up against a sign post and hope for the best. To capture the water in the foreground without blurring took a fairly high shutter speed, but the moon and the water were so bright, it worked out ... with a LOT of burning and the like.
Gotta love digital. You can take 20 pix of the same thing if you want ... and pray one of them is a usable image.
