Good morning moon over the Bay of Asinara

This morning was the first time I watched the full moon set and the sunrise, it was a spectacular, romantic treasure.

This is my response to the Weekly Photo Challenge: Treasure and the Weekly Travel Theme: Romance.

Have you ever watched the moon set?

Full Moon Morning over the Bay of Asinara, Sardinia

What a lovely surprise when I looked out the living-room window at 7am this morning – a stunning full moon setting onto the Bay of Asinara.

Did you see the blue moon?

Weekly Photo Challenge: The Golden Hour

This week the folks controlling the Weekly Photo Challenge have asked us to represent “The Golden Hour.” The golden hour is the first and last hour of the day. I’ve never been a sunset photographer and sunrises are just too early for me. I did however manage to capture a photo of the setting full moon one early morning.

The Golden Hour – Asinara Bay, Sardinia, Italy

The Golden Hour by Jennifer Avventura 2013This photo was shot at 5:03 am using a Sony Cyber-Shot. I think it turned out pretty cool, you can even see the moon’s reflection, shining brightly on Castlesardo. There is nothing golden about this photo but it was shot at the right time for this weeks theme.

Any tips for capturing the perfect golden hour of a sunset?
