Sunset At Hardings Beach


Sunset
Originally uploaded by ChathamGardens

Tonight was another spectacular Sunset over Nantucket Sound. I actually went out to capture pictures of the crescent moon that was going to be bathed in Earthshine and it was to be my first serious tripod experience.

Fortunately, the sunset made the effort totally worthwhile, because I was not successful in taking any decent photos of the moon. I will analyze what went wrong another day, but the first thing I realized was that even with the tripod, the simple act of depressing the shutter button caused enough camera shake to ruin every picture. So the first thing I did after looking at my photos was to order a remote control for my camera.

But, tomorrow is another day and there will be another moon and certainly another sunset to enjoy.
