Simultaneous Sunrise Moonset

Jack'll do

I recently had what was for me a very unique photographic opportunity. We were on vacation in Rockport Mass just north of Boston staying at this wonderful victorian B&B.



At the top left there is an open sun deck which offers unrestricted views to the east, south, and west. One morning I rose early to catch the sunrise and spent about 30 minutes watching/shooting it's progression. The shot below was taken at 6:54:48



As I turned to leave, I saw the moon setting in the west. The shot below was taken two minutes later at 6:56:32. Neither of these had any PP.

Hi Beth
The last time I visited Rockport was in 1967. I thoroughly enjoyed both visits. It's hard to find really good seafood here in the Berkshires!

Glad that you enjoyed your trip! The North Shore is a great place to visit, lots to do and see. We also have an abundance of seafood... and pizza .

Can't agree on the pizza, (not arguing abundance just quality). Having spent 30 years on Long Island, I've yet to find an equal to NY pizza anywhere else. Fortunately my wife makes pizza from scratch to die for

Nice photos
But do you know you have what appears to be a spot on your sensor? Lower center of both sky shots. A little disc about a sixth of the way up the frame, and just slightly left of center..

This trip was the first time I hsd used my new D80 and it had an inexpensive UV filter on it. Mid trip I replaced it with a Rodenstock filter and the spot is not present in later photos. At least I can't see it but I'll be checking future images to make sure.

Never said GOOD pizza . We usually go next door to Gloucester when dining out, particularly for seafood, there are several excellent restaurants.

The spot in your photo may just be a water spot. When in Hawaii last spring, I got caught in the rain, didn't notice the rain spots on my filter until 300 photos later . While it's a super easy fix in PS, it was a major pita in such quantity. Learned my lesson, now I always check for spots!
