Since the full moon tonight was supposed to be the largest in the last 20 years, Tracy and I decided to go out and see what we could do to capture a photo. It was freezing (just a little over 32°) so we weren't willing to stay out too long. I had some notes from my friend Barbara about good settings to try. Another time I would use the remote, but I didn't have the camera set for it and it was so dark in the field near our community garden that I just stuck with the tripod. It would also be nice to have a longer lens, but that's not happening! Nonetheless I'm pretty happy with this shot, and most of all, I'm glad I saw it. As we drove over the moon appeared HUGE and bright yellow, but quickly diminished in size.
