Day 29 - Bright Moon

Bright Moon, originally uploaded by joel.tobey.

My wife read in Facebook today that tonight was going to have the brightest moon of the entire year. So we had to go outside, of course, and take a look. The first picture I took had some flash and all it had was a white dot where the moon was. So I changed the camera mode to nighttime landscape and I was able to get this picture. It’s a little blurry because I was holding the camera and the shutter speed was really slow. However, you can see more detail like the trees, the mountains and even some stars.
