I hope you enjoyed the unusually large and bright moon last week. National Geographic wrote an interesting piece that the geek in you might find interesting.
From the article: "Although a full moon happens every month, the one that rises tomorrow will appear about 30 percent brighter and 14 percent larger than the other full moons seen so far this year."
This next picture of our backyard was taken about 2 hours after sundown. It doesn't seem like much except that the vast majority of available 'white' light was coming from the sun's reflection off the moon. I wish I'd gotten out there earlier when you could see the moon reflecting in the glassy water on the pond. This picture had a 20-second exposure.
The following picture was taken just after 0500hrs on Friday morning as the moon illuminated some clouds that were moving in. Again, realize that it was way before sunrise but with the long exposure, street lights, and Christmas lights, I had a lot of light with which to work.
