Super Moon

Last night, the full moon was bigger than it had been in 18 years due to its elliptical orbit.  So I went out to my favorite field, set up my tripod and waited... and waited.  The Moon was supposed to rise as the sun set at 7:20pm.  I, however, did not take into account the hilly piedmont of the Blue Ridge Mountains delaying this moonrise by about an hour and a half.

Once I started to see the Moon peak its yellowish head over the tree line, I set up my tripod and started snapping.  I was hoping for a bit more ambient light, as I was anticipating the moon to come up at sunset.  Also, I would've liked to have shot this with maybe a 500mm lens to accentuate the enormity of the Super Moon.

I love to read peoples comments so start posting!
