Actually, I wasn't sure this would turn out - it was much better in person. This photo was taken without a flash and with NO adjustments to the camera/lens. I didn't even put it on "night." So you can tell how bright the moon was.
I only regret that I wasn't home early enough to actually see it begin to rise - this time of year it's often yellow/orange...maybe I'll try tonight!
Well, hooda, I took pics last night of the actual moonrise and I need a different camera to capture the best of what I saw. It was still a bit light and the moon was certainly larger and more yellow...but there wasn't a defined reflection on the water like there is in this one.
Yes, I'm totally spoiled as I've lived my life on the bay with these types of views...

An earlier shot might have shown a reflection on the water making for a more striking picture, if it had been dark enough ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnd, I believe the moon would have also appeared larger at the lower angle, in addition to the different hue...
But then, I don't have a lake view to test this :-(
(Extreme jealousy talking here)
