3300 Moon, Bernal Rising

From Sunday’s full moon:

I must be honest here — the above is poor man’s HDR (aka I really don’t know what the hell I’m doing when I’m taking photos at night as proven by about twenty shots with increasingly desperate exposure settings).  I basically cut the corner of the picture of the short exposure on the left, and pasted it into the corner of the picture of the longer exposure on the right. Such is the short-lived reign of photorealism here at Burrito Justice. But it’s pretty much what my eyes saw.

This one was a 15 second exposure:

Sadly, I missed the opportunity for a dramatic moon-behind-tree shot by about 5 minutes.
