#FullMoon Rising Beyond the #USMCMemorial in #ArlingtonVA - 9/8/2025
Composite Photo

Moon: 1/60 sec., f/8.0, ISO 500
Here is my plan for next September to achieve the moon as a pupil sized object in North Window arch. This is with a 600mm lens with a teleconverter to give me 840mm. The depth of field even at those distances will be minimal, and there’s also no way to see the underside of the arch from there.
Sharyn, I am a photographer, and I have done a lot of planning to try and get a photo of the full moon rising in North Window arch. Unless the poster can explain the discrepancies, I will stand by my statement that the image at the top of this thread is AI generated.
To get the moon that big in North Window, which the pictured arch is supposed to be, one needs to be quite a bit farther away using a big lens, so the depth of field would also be far shallower. As others pointed out the rock face is also wrong.

The only edit to this photo is the 16x9 crop.

It's easy to see how they were named the #BlueRidgeMountains
Normally, on July 1st, I turn on a gallery of 4th of July images on my website to help celebrate our nation's birthday.

I will reread the Declaration of Independence on Friday morning, I can't post fireworks or other happy images while 47 is making a mockery of the Declaration and the Constitution.

The photos with the sun are composites where I replaced the overexposed sun to more closely match what I saw.

The photo with the rock in the foreground is a #compositephoto to retain focus between the rock and the distant shoreline and the clouds.
