Full Moon

Another view of the sky from rural Riley County.

This full moon picture is underexposed by 2 f-stops. This is intentional, as it helps to bring out the subtle contrast of the areas on the moons surface.

I know. Pictures of the full moon are a dime-a-dozen, but I’m still in awe that people have actually walked on the moon!

Moonrise over Riley County

One of the benefits of living in rural Riley County is that there are fewer distractions to noticing what is in the sky. Having lived in a major metropolitan area in years past, I enjoy being able to see the moon and stars as they rise in the east.

Notice in this picture that the sun had not yet set, but moon is prominent in the sky.
