So how did Saturday's moon rise at Mono Lake turn out?

You tell me!  It was fun hanging out with +Amy Heiden +Tran Mai and +Lori Hibbett in the Mono Basin for the day.  There was fog on the lake all the way through 3 pm, but fortunately it cleared just in time for the moon rise.  When we arrived at the Old Marina site +Blair Pountney joined us.  He had seen my notes on the coming moon rise last week and drove up from Bishop.  Then we ran into
+Travis Theune and +Schmoo Theune of Smugmug, so we had a fun little group of photographers gathered, from various parts of the state!  

I created a time-lapse video from this moon rise, but I had problems with a light tripod in the intermittent gusty wind which developed, so the result is pretty funny… I'll post it later so you can have a few laughs.  After the moon rise, Amy, Tran, Lori and I went on to shoot into the night by the light of the full moon, so check their streams in the coming days for night snowy landscape shots. 

I decided that meeting Travis and Schmoo was a great reminder to update my Mono Lake gallery on +SmugMug (I'm not as diligent about that as I should be), so if you're curious to see more of my work from Mono Lake, here's the link to that gallery, where you can see a larger copy of this image: http://jeffsullivan.smugmug.com/Landscapes/Mono-Basin-Eastern-Sierra/26270285_3Wg3R9#!i=2338827631&k=2rLXtDX&lb=1&s=A 

Thanks in advance for +1s and shares!   #PlusPhotoExtract

    Wish I could have been there!  …but Ava's birthday party was on Saturday.  Lots of screaming girls at our house!  🙂

    I'll be up your way in three weeks, but sadly it sounds like you're busy.  I hope our schedules work out sometime this spring!

    Thanks everyone!  This event received some nice coverage today by +Philip Plait n his +Bad Astronomy blog on +Slate Magazine: 

    Moon Rise over an Arsenic Lake
    http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2013/02/25/the_belt_of_venus_moon_rise_into_the_earth_s_shadow.html

    Phil included a link to a time-lapse video of this event that I produced as well.  His drawing and explanation of the "Belt of Venus" pink on blue color in the sky is much better than I've come up with so far.
