Last night's "Super Moon"

[NTP66]

I can't be the only one who took shots of last night's "Super Moon", right?

It was one of those days where I really wish I had a longer lens, because 300mm doesn't get you very far when it comes to shots like this:



In defense of the blurriness of the photo, this was a 1/13 exposure while handheld, as I didn't want to setup the tripod late at night in the middle of the street.

Very cool Nick, it was to busy storming here to see it.

So sick.

Nice! Did you take the pic when the moon was just up over the horizon or later?

I bet that's a significant crop job too having been shot with a 300mm?

Thanks all!

To answer the questions, the moon was pretty close to the horizon where I am (SE Pa.) at around 8PM, and yes, that's a 100% crop.

I wanted to grab the tripod and get a better shot, but because of the trees in my neighborhood and a few street lights, the only place to get that shot without driving was literally in the middle of the street. I thought the color was pretty cool, too, as I was expecting it to be brilliant white.
