As I’m sure you’ve noticed, I haven’t posted a 2008 Challenge shot in a while. I hit a lull, but now I’m back.

This past week, I realized that my commute to work is early enough that I can catch the moon low on the horizon. So I drove one of the days, without my carpool. I hit the beach, just south of La Conchita, near the Santa Barbara and Ventura County lines.

This is what I came up with. I’m kinda proud of this shot. As I was setting up my tripod, I realized that there are usually special guidelines for shooting the moon. I couldn’t remember what it’s called, but the details came back to me.
