Tribute in Lights

AAA October 1, 2024

AAA members were out on the evening of September 11 photographing the annual Tribute in
Lights, honoring the 9/11 victims, with celestial themes. The first quarter moon was a popular
object to line up with the twin columns of light. Bob Devlin, George Hripcsak, Gowrishankar
Lakshminarayanan., Nikunj Modi, Rocco Cetera, and Samir Patel all had nice angles on the moon
and the lights. David Gluchowski found a beautiful location in Brooklyn with a view of the Lower
Manhattan and created a star trail with the lights.
