Portrait of the moon.
The star to the right of the moon is in the Constellation Virgo. The photo was taken at 1:16:30 a.m. at my house in Los Angeles.
In going through my archives, I came across this gem. Check out the girl looking up at the bubbles; the woman taking her photograph at left; the men gathered around the Bubbleman sign at the right. Taj Mahal performed on the Santa Monica pier that night.
I had to watch for a long time and take a lot of photos to get a small number of good shots, but it was worth it. These are just a few samples as the sun’s shadow fell over the moon. This was before the “blood moon.”
The moon is rising here, between the contrails. Mars is above the highest contrail. First photo taken at 9:01 p.m., about two hours before the eclipse took its first bite out of the moon. You can see Los Angeles in the distance. I like the wind blowing the bushes to the left in the bottom photo, and the lights in the house to the right. Then, I became intrigued by this house and made it more of a highlight in the next photo, taken at 9:16 p.m. Photography is like painting with light.
