Full moon over the Straits

One spot, one evening, one thing worth waiting for — and the shortest kind of walk there is. On 28 August the moon is full at 100% and rises at 7:18pm, nine minutes after the sun sets at 7:09pm. That gap is the entire plan. Wait for a moon that rises an hour after sunset and you photograph a white disc against black; catch it in those nine minutes and it comes up through colour, with dusk not closing until 7:30pm. It rises at 97.6° — just south of due east, straight out over the shipping lanes. From the jetty there is nothing between you and it.
