Last night on the way to dinner the moon was just starting to rise. Of course that meant that a side trip was in order. We found a spot with a good view of the moon, and I set up to get a picture. So far a great moon shot has eluded me. The moon was so big and so beautiful that I really wanted to capture what we saw with my camera. I think that I have some work to do though as I didn’t quite get the shot that I wanted. That is the purpose of this blog though is to learn. I tried quite a few things including added the light trails of cars to the shot. In the end I liked this picture of just the moon as the picture of the day. The good news is that tonight the moon will be out yet again, and I have another shot.
Nice shot, here is one I took back in January but I also want to try capture it as it comes over the horizon for a more interesting shot.

Your shot is what I was going for. Very well done!
Thanks.
