Yesterday morning I got up early and walked over to a great vista overlooking the Grand Tetons. Research via my photography app seemed to indicate the full moon setting over the Grand Tetons would provide a magical sight. Although the skies were crystal clear when I got to my overlook, overnight lows in the mid 20’s quickly caused ice mist to rise from Jackson Lake. My question as I watched the moon descend for about 45 minutes, would the increasing mist obsure our planetary satellite? At times the answer to this question was yes, but clear skies finally won out when I most needed them!
This first image is of the overall scene followed by two photos taken increasingly close to actual moonset. In the final image a bit of rose appears in the sky due to impending dawn. Enjoy!
Seconding the words of Bonnie & Sharon. Recently saw more work by Craig Blacklock. Your photos are completely on par!
