Pink Moon

Not quite a full moon when I took this shot out in 29 Palms two weeks ago, but close. A 30-second exposure, f 7.1, ISO 400. By illuminating the foreground, I greatly overexposed the moon, but I like the effect!

    This one is good! It looks supernatural--like some unknown star!
    I liked the lighting and the ambiance with the other stars. Very good : )

    Great shot - I took my first moon light shots this a few months ago and was really surprised how much light there is.
