Behind the scenes of this morning’s crescent moon rising behind Nubble. Holy cold Batman, it was 53 and windy!

Love at First Sight

With the crescent rising nearly 2 hours before the sun, a nice dark sky backdrops the rising crescent. Had my iso higher than I like to get enough light to show the cloud and penumbra. The first little glisten as it pops through the clouds is always exciting.

What a morning! Crescent moon waning 4.1% started to cross the horizon at 4:18am this morning in Maine. Clouds were quite low, lining up with the beacon top, so I was able to capture the scene before it got too high.

Series of photos this morning. Definitely a chill in the air, mid 50s, glad I had a blanket in the car. Also a haze too which made the light from the lighthouse tricky with the slim moon.

Edited in Lightroom, put together by hand in photoshop. No ai was used in the making of this photo. 😘

When the tide comes in on Star Island, the swimming area near the pier is the perfect place to cool off. The water here was clear enough to see the bottom when the depth was over my head. Plus the protection of the pier and rocks of the harbor help to help those visiting great whites away.

Sunflowers follow the sun each day, east to west. The oldest sunflowers stay facing east. The popular bird buffet forms the Fibonacci sequence. Perfect nature math. Even if petals are missing, even if the seeds are sparse, the flower is still perfect. And so are you.

Happy Sunday funday everyone. It’s supposed to be beautiful here in Maine. Plus the leaves have already started changing ::::squeeeeee:::::

Thursday night 8/27 at 10:33pm, the first bites of the dark shadow covering the moon appeared. Here in Kennebunkport, Maine, our maximum view was 96% covered at 12:12am 8/28.

The moon is generally tough to photograph. It doesn’t produce any light. It reflects the sun’s light back to us against a pitch black sky. Eclipses even more so with the reddish orange hue and cloud cover.

The bright lights of The Clam Shack Sign aligned perfectly with the direction of the moon and ended up being a favorite of the evening.

Have you tried their lobster rolls? Omg. Plus this time of year, you have a chance of a more reasonable line or call ahead which is what I normally do. 🥰

On tonight’s episode of will the moon be seen or clouded out, clouds mostly win. Epic sunset though!

Thank you to Meteorologist Colleen Hurley and the station for sharing my photo! ❤️

Cloud cover may have made viewing of the near-total lunar eclipse difficult in Maine, but a local photographer was able to capture a picture of the blood moon.

Lunar eclipse over Kennebunkport tonight. Found some flowers in lobster traps in the foreground. It all depends on perspective. This eclipse season has been strong!

Please enjoy a glimpse into the lunar eclipse last night. It was a strong one.
