My Backyard

heading home just after sunset... I decided to shoot the moon looming low on this

November evening... this, is where I live...

Impressive at the "Large" size. Beautiful detail and mood.

Very nicely captured! What lens did you use? Must have been quite a long lens.

Wonderful shot--I love having the moon and the earth in the same exposure.  That can happen best when the moon is not quite full.

I apologize for not responding to your questions sooner...

One method I use... and is the case here, is to shoot the distant landscape when the moon is full.

The Silo, for example, is more than a mile away and the golden trees near the horizon are two miles away from my vantage point.  This makes the moon "appear" larger...

I just used the Nikkor 70-200, at 200.  That's the longest lens I currently own.

This is just after sunset, so there is still "some" light on the landscape and the sky isn't yet completely dark around the moon.  

Without the landscape size reference, it's pretty routine... I'm glad it is so well received.  All of your comments are very much appreciated.
