Full Moon Rising Over Los Angeles (Single)
DESCRIPTION
We all know what Cartier Bresson meant by the decisive moment. In my humble opinion, it was and still is the best description of what photography is all about. This moment took a bit more luck. Los Angeles is just as smoggy as everyone says it is. It rained for two full days before this shot. That both cleaned the air and left six feet of snow on the San Gabriel Mountains. Then the full moonrise coincided with the sunset and presto! Pink skies and a full moon over the city. I waited many years for all of the elements to come together for this 5 shot panorama.
AUTHOR
David Skernick was born in the heartland of the United States
David started taking pictures of the only interesting things in his hometown: people and landscapes. He eventually narrowed his work to landscapes because nature didn’t ask so many questions.
David developed an appreciation of the sometimes-overlooked magnificence that is American nature and landscapes. He travels exclusively in his truck “Bob” on the “grey roads” (back roads), and never the same road twice.
Shows include the Los Angeles Photo Show, Photo L.A. and Photo Independent. The self-published book “Lost on Gray Roads” was released along with a showing at the ArtLA gallery in Bergamot Station in Los Angeles in 2013.
David resides in Woodland Hills, California with his wife Ria and dog Dudley. He spends as much time as possible teaching and traveling the grey roads of America.
Schiffer Books Is publishing a series of books. “Yellowstone Country”, “Back Roads of Southern California”, “Back Roads of Northern California”, “American Carnival”, “How Did You Get That Shot”, “Back Roads of the Southwest” and Back Roads of the Great Plains are currently available.
