I read that this evening would find us with the biggest and brightest full moon of 2012 and it did not dissapoint. It’s the 2012 Supermoon, shot from Albuquerque.
I did however need to jump into the car after I loaded up my tripod and camera so that I could get closer to the mountain and actually get it rising over the ridge line. I read that the moon appears larger if you can identify things in the foreground, but that is probably best when there is more light out.
At any rate, these are a couple of the shots.
I shot a cactus in the foreground for a different look
All photos shot with Nikon D100, 70-200 zoom with 2x extender. I believe that’s about equivalent to a normal 600mm lens.
Clear of the mountain ridge, but behind a thin veil of high cloud.
Supposedly the moon will be at the full point at 11:35
