Super Moon
While in Raleigh, North Carolina, this weekend, I slipped out to take a shot at the Super Moon. It's trajectory brings it closer to Earth than it has in 18 years. Fear mongers were crawling out of the woodwork, predicting more earthquakes, tidal waves, and natural disasters bigger than Al Gore's global warming head.
I admit, the moon would have looked better had there been some other objects in the frame with it but there simply wasn't anything near me that would have worked. Plus, I really needed something in the 1000 mm range to make it really work.
On a tripod, Nikon D60, 200 mm digital (equivalent to a 300 mm in film cameras), ISO 100, Aperture 5.6, shutter speed of 1/500 second. Cropping was necessary.
