These are so great! Wow! Amazing! I want to see more huge moons like that!! Thank you! I will also check out the website that you said. I did use the TPE app on my phone and kept staring at it, not quite sure if I was reading the tradjectory correctly. But it came up just where I thought it would! So it is best to try to get moonrises (as I am sure I will do more rise then set..lol) just before sunset when they occur that way so I can have some nice light for the background. Otherwise I guess I will have to do a composite like I did for these. Oh..the moon rise that was orange (my first pic) was not a composite, but I was very excited and didn't expose correctly. I under exposed and had to lighten up which made my photo noisy. I pulled out a bunch of noise in post, but still, next time I would like to get it right in the camera better. :)

I am quite hooked myself, Alissa :) And as you discovered, the moon moves very quickly when that close to the horizon. Let me know if the following helps.

I use this website to get the official times I need to know (moonrise vs sunset and moonset vs sunrise): http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneDay.php

Check the photos at these links:

For #1, moonrise was at 6:11 pm, but sunset wasn’t until 6:52 pm, so moon wasn’t very visible until a bit darker out and it higher in the sky.

For #3, sunrise was at 6:57 am and official moonset at 7:35 am - perfect! However, I’ve learned that I don’t have all the way until “official” time of moonset because of mountains to west. Shot this at 7:12 am.

Also, moonrise time might be 10 minutes later than advertised because of mountains to east.

Here is another topic:

#1 shot at 5:18 am on July 2. Official moonset was 6:10 am and sunrise 5:13 am. The past couple of years I’ve tended to shoot moonset rather than moonrise.

It also helps to have an app showing you where the moon will be on any given day, at moonrise or moonset - so you don’t have an obstruction :) You’d be surprised at how much it changes in just one day!

Thanks! Where did you go? What kind of background were you trying to capture?
I stayed in the neighborhood. I was simply trying to do a natural frame type of thing using surrounding foilage. I should have scoped out some cool areas but I am sort of sown for the count right now.
