Moonset in Wild Wyoming
This was taken on Rt 26 from Riverton towards the Grand Teton range. Prior to leaving Riverton I was pulled over by a Wyoming State Police Officer. He noted I was speeding, 72 in a 70; I gave him a worthy blank stare when he told me. But I got the feeling halfway through talking with him about the speeding that he was just bored; he needed a friend. We just talked about different places to go and he gave me a few tips; Fuel up in Riverton, there's no fuel for a very long time. And I'm glad I fueled up at his advice, I have no idea what I would have done running empty.
Heading west it wasn't hard to see that the moon was setting; it was a shot I wanted to do and it's all about finding the right place at the right time to capture it's set. If you've ever shot the moon near the horizon you know that once it's low you have maybe a couple minutes before it's gone; it moves very quick. It was only luck that gave me a clear view with a great composition all at the right time. Snapped on the 400mm and here's what I left with.
