My Best Shot

Doug McConnell, MD, is a retired surgeon and has enjoyed photographing Long Beach. “This photo is possible only on the night before the full moon each month. On that evening the moon rises in the east while the setting sun is still illuminating downtown Long Beach. I took this photo using a Nikon D-800 camera on a tripod allowing for proper exposure. All my Long Beach friends remark that this is the best photo of Long Beach they have seen,” he said.
