Moons of 2012 - #2

I almost forgot about chasing moons, for some reason, I thought it was going to happen next week, and then as I was biking home, I saw the almost-full moon high in the sky, and it was still so light out (only about 5:15pm). Anyway, I remembered the next day (actual full moon), but I was worried that because it rises 56 minutes later each day, that it would be too dark by the time the full moon rises. I biked over to the reservoir, ready to take some sunset and moon rise photos. This month, the sun is
scheduled to set a few minutes later, so I was hopeful.

In the 1st photo, you can see it just starting to appear behind the trees.

In the last photo, I switched to manual mode. I had been using aperture mode for all the other photos.

Moons of 2012 - #1

I've decided that I will test out my photo taking skills by capturing all the full moons (or almost full) of this year. Here's my first attempt. Of course, being my baseline photo, it is crappy. Therefore, you shall see drastic improvement by at least Moon #7.
