Full Moon March 1, 2010

I had another picture ready for today’s photo but when I walked Charlie this evening I couldn’t help but attempt a shot at the moon. I set my camera on the pillar near the back porch and aimed it at the sky with a box underneath the lens.  Not the best solution but with the self timer and some patience I got a shot.  (This is why I really NEED a new tri-pod.)  As magnificent as this scene was it was difficult to shoot because the clouds were moving so quickly across the sky.  I had to leave the shutter open long enough for the low light so the movement of the clouds made a blur across the photo.  Neat, but not what I was looking for.  After several changes to the settings I finally came up with this one.  The color is my favorite part.
