MoonBryceCanyon_DD5_3294_fave

            I knew a full moon was going to happen on the trip through southern Utah, but I wasn't paying attention to exactly when it would happen.  We got to Bryce Canyon very late this day.  There were about 20 photographers with tripods set up.  I thought it was just a bunch of old school photographers or maybe some film photographers who didn't have the image stabilized cameras or didn't trust IS to shoot after the sun went down (golden hour).  I went about shooting in the approaching darkness... looking down into the canyon for formations, when the photographers started jumping around.  I looked at what they were shooting, and there it was.  I got some shots from there where the moon wasn't above the horizon yet.  The foreground didn't suck, but I knew this foreground would be better, about 1/8 mile away.  So I ran to get there.  At 8,000 feet and 61 years old, I couldn't quite make it to the spot I wanted to get to before the moon got too high, but, this location was good enough.  I took 30 seconds to catch my breath.  Then, with the image stabilized 100mm lens on a full frame camera, focused just past the foreground, I shot about 40 shots very quickly at different settings, and landed on this one handheld at 1/20 second, f/5.6, ISO 400.  The tripod was in the car, but I'm glad I didn't have it in my hand when this event happened, because I would not have been able to run to the better location.
