'Super Moon' Over Rochester [Sky Watch Friday]

By Shattman

    On the night of the ‘super moon’, local photographers turned out in force for a shoot along the Genesee River. In the top image, I took advantage of Rochester’s ‘Freddie-Sue’ Bridge [scroll down to earlier postings], to frame the moon. Although the sky was fairly clear, I lacked a really powerful telephoto lens to capture much detail of the moon’s craters. Still, I love my 18-135mm lens since it is so versatile [actually, it is functionally a 29-216mm because of the sensor], so I don’t have to change lenses.
