Hi Ann and thanks for the comment. There have actually been about 500,000 evacuees . . . 10,000 are at Qualcom Park. But only 6 arrests for theft there. The people have behaved quite well and all seems to be improving.

Thanks Robert. One arsonist has been shot to death by police . . . others are at large ($150,000 USD reward). Surprisingly, they're separate, unrelated sociopaths . . . and several are accidentally started, i.e., the Magic Mountain fire set off by welders . . . Never-the-less, it seems our firefighters are getting an upper hand. Thanks very much!

Wow, what a great shot, Doyle. Even in tragedy such as this there is still beauty. Glad you're all safe. We've been watching it on the news. Hard to imagine over a million people being evacuated. So much devastation. Take care.

All I know is I like this color of moon around the harvest moon or so called. I know I just can't believe all the fires that are going on a one time. I haven't heard who or what started them. Keep safe. Excellent image here.

Thanks Joggie . . . Luckily, these fires have not taken many lives at this point . . . though even one is too many. Property devastation is another matter. More than half a million people are affected personally....so far, my family has been lucky and we are in no danger.

Thanks Mehul. The 1/500 shutter speed would have been a little underexposed as the moon was somewhat lower on the horizon . . . but I had little time as my grandaughter needed a photo shot and printed for school in the morning! I need to try this every few days for the 28 day cycle it seems . . . so I will give that a shot the day after tomorrow and compare the results. I cannot begin to imagine using a sunlight WB setting . . . but I shoot RAW and will check it out. Keeping in mind that the fires have put ash and smoke into the sky . . . the lower leveled moon has a darker sheen to it in any event . . . Thanks for the ideas . . . I'll certainly give them a shot!
Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

hi Doyle,
Nice moon shot, did you try one with the Sunlight WB setting and 1/500 I think with the 200-500 lens you will have sharper pictures, I am planning for the moon shot on 25th the full moon night

Dear Doyle!
I'm pleased to hear the fire is 75% contained. I know the horror of bushfires all too well, living in the 3rd most bushfire prone area in the world.
Be SAFE!!!
Best to you!
