Moving the Full Moonrise To Place It Over the Nation's Capital!

Think you can take better pictures than the ones you see on the postcards?  Here is your chance to prove it by capturing  that traditional postcard-view of the three famous monuments – Lincoln Memorial,  Washington Monument, and the Capitol, all neatly aligned in your viewfinder with the full moon right beside them. This is done from the vantage-point of the Netherlands Carillon, right next to the Iwo Jima Memorial.

Professional architectural photographer E. David Luria will coach you in the single-exposure and double-exposure techniques of twilight and moonlight photography on this Safari, timed to coincide with the sun setting at 4;46 pm and the full red moon rising at 56 degrees east of north, just above the Old Post Office at 5:01 pm, followed by nighttime shooting of the Marine Corps Memorial soldiers framed against the rising moon. For DSLR or film SLR  users with multiple exposure capabilities in their cameras (check your manual!), Mr Luria will demonstrate how to MOVE the moon from its Old Post Office location to that spot where you want it, just to the left of the Washington Monument at 90 degrees east of north!  

In the event of cloud cover, this Safari will be postponed to Thurdsay, December 3, 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm.
