18 Oct 2023 Theme: Fall

October’s photography theme was Fall – an appropriate topic for the season. Meeting participants shared photos that matched the theme. The meeting was hosted by John Leighton since Jim Wilkinson was off on a photo scouting trip to Lone Pine/Alabama Hills in the Eastern Sierras of California. Here are some of the photos shared:

28 Oct 2023: Full Moon Rise at Sunset, San Diego

There will be a full moon rising over the San Diego Skyline ~6pm Saturday Oct 28th. Cathy proposed a meetup to photograph this event. I entered some different spots into the Photographer’s Ephemeris webpage and grabbed some projections for potential locations. Some members of the Photography Interest Group are already pretty familiar with such locations. But these projection should give us a good idea where the moon will rise so we can set up at an ideal location.

Harbor Island East (looks too far north for a skyline moonrise)

Coronado Bayview Park

Coronado Ferry Landing – this has already been proposed so check out the moonrise projection

Coronado Bridge Viewpoint – not ideal for a skyline shot but including the bridge might be interesting

Hotel Del Coronado – alternative to San Diego Skyline, moon rising over the Hotel Del
