August 19th is a Friday, it is World Photo Day and the Moon will be full. Well it will 96% full and waning. So a Blue Hour Full Moon Shoot for the Darkroomers is a must. We did a full moon rising over Downtown shoot in July 2013 with the moon at apogee (8.7% larger) and the east end of Harbor Island facing Downtown will be a pretty good view of the moon over downtown once again according to TPE. Moonrise is at 8:32pm but it doesn’t clear the buildings until about 9:30 so we can get some Golden Hour, Blue Hour and Moonrise photos then be in bed before the 10:00 news…

Park on the street near Island Prime we can shoot from the sidewalk facing downtown. Sunset is at 7:30pm so you will need to get there about 6 to catch the Golden hour light.

Darkroomers, in co-operation with Night Photography Lovers and The Best Places to Photograph in San Diego presents: Steel Wool Adventures with Reflections and Graffiti.

Park in structure behind Bloomingdales, then cross over to path on Riverwalk. We will head down to the tunnels at 7:30.

Equipment to Bring:

• Flash light/Miners light for hands free operation
• Cable Release
• Wide angle lens
• Tripod
• UV Filter to protect the glass element of your lens. Sparks and flying debris can damage your lens.

What to Wear:

• Comfortable shoes. The walk isn’t long or difficult but there may be weeds and/or some gravel to negotiate.
• Jeans, hoodie or long sleeve flannel shirt and a hat. Sparks from embers can burn or irritate the skin.
• Safety goggles to protect your eyes from flying debris.

We do ask that you sign up for this event because it is a night shoot and your safety is our primary concern and we want to know that you plan to go.
