GLENN MILLER AND HIS ORCHESTRA with “Moonlight Serenade” from the soundtrack of Woody Allen’s Stardust Memories* which most of you know was shot in and around Ocean Grove.
It was the brightest moon we ever saw. It wasn’t quite full, but definitely dramatic. Moon photos and songs are usually considered to be romantic. But this scene, with a periphery of pink seemed to connote fire or anger. The photo was technically difficult, so I took quite a few exposures before deciding on this one. It was shot with a color camera and a high light sensitivity setting. The lens was open wide.
