Blue Moon

It has been a while since I've had an opportunity to post. Since my last post in June, my second child was born, and well, that has been keeping me somewhat busy. During that time, I have been taking pictures, but haven't had a lot of time to actually download and process them, let alone update this blog. I hope to get back into updating this regularly. Thanks for your patience!  So, finally, here is a recent photo that I was able to capture.

If you were not aware, August 31 was a "blue moon" or the second full moon in the same month. I was able to capture this picture with the aid of a couple of ND Filters that I recently received. I experimented with several different exposures, mainly trying to capture the detail of the surface of the moon as well as making sure the moon itself was properly developed.
