Setting Harvest Moon
Just before sunrise, the Harvest Moon dipped into the treeline and then out of sight.
The Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the Autumnal Equinox, when the interval between moonrises is the shortest of the year. This results in more light at the end of day, just after sunset, allowing a longer time for farmers to bring in the harvest.
Taken on our recent RV trip to Jackson. The trees were so far away that I was able to keep both them and the moon in focus.
With crop factor, this is roughly 2000mm at 35mm equiv. ISO 125. 1/200 sec. f5.8. Hand held.
