Full Moon

Well, Rob, you once more pulled me out of my comfort zone, and this time I mean literally! Standing outside in cold, below freezing temperatures and the dark is NOT my favorite thing! I decided to try to get a picture of the full moon on February 3rd, as it’s not yet something I’ve successfully done. It was a beautiful, sunny day but of course it clouded up at sunset. So I went out and took a bunch of shots in my backyard anyway. (See comments) This is my first serious attempt at nighttime photography so I did a lot of experimenting with ISO and shutter speed. When I was in my pajamas and almost ready for bed, I looked out and the moon was out from behind the clouds! So I bundled up, grabbed my equipment and headed back outside to try again. So I took this in my pajamas and stayed up way past my bedtime. I’m either dedicated or crazy, haven’t figure out which. :-)

 

This is SOOC except for the crop.
