Have you ever felt the magic of a summer night under a strawberry moon?

One warm summer night, I set out to Craters of the Moon National Monument, camera in hand. The air was crisp, carrying the sweet scent of blooming sagebrush mixed with the earthy aroma of volcanic rock. Stars twinkled overhead, like distant diamonds scattered across the navy sky. The silence was profound, broken only by the soft rustle of the wind through the ancient, twisted trees.

As I walked around the rugged terrain, I could taste the dryness in the air, a reminder of the harsh beauty of this place. Each step brought me closer to my destination—a perfect spot to capture the strawberry moon in all its glory.

Setting up for night photography is no easy task. The darkness can play tricks on your senses, and the camera settings must be precise. I carefully adjusted my tripod, ensuring it was stable on the uneven ground. The faint hum of crickets provided a rhythmic background as I checked and rechecked my focus, exposure, and ISO settings. The anticipation was palpable, a mix of excitement and nerves.

When the moon began to rise, it was breathtaking. A giant, glowing orb of soft red and orange hues, it looked like a mystical fruit hanging low in the sky. The eerie beauty of the scene took my breath away. I pressed the shutter, capturing the moon as it peeked through the gnarled branches of an old, leafless tree. Each click of the camera was a heartbeat, immortalizing the moment.

Standing there, enveloped in the cool night air, I felt a deep connection to the world around me. The vastness of the universe seemed to shrink, and for a moment, everything felt aligned. The complexities of night photography faded into the background, replaced by the sheer joy of witnessing such a spectacular sight.

As the moon climbed higher, casting a silvery glow over the landscape, I knew this was a night I would never forget. The image I captured was more than a photograph—it was a memory, a piece of the magic of Craters of the Moon that I could share with others.

Back in the quiet of my home, I looked at the photo, marveling at the beauty of the world through my lens. This incredible experience reminded me of why I fell in love with photography—to capture moments that words alone cannot describe.
