The moon has looked especially big this week. I tried taking pictures with my zoom lens and got some decent shots. It took some effort & an Internet search for the right settings. I put the camera on a tripod & turned off the porch light. (Bonus: no one could tell that I was in my pajamas!) I took the light readings off of the moon & turned off the flash.
It turns out that my first shot was the best.
The moon was so bright that it looked like a sunset through the clouds. The colors were really golden and pink. I ultimately stayed up until after 12:30 playing with settings for speed and aperture and the timer (no camera shake). I am happy I did because the clouds have covered the sky since.
