2304_0140 Full Moon Rising

            Two evenings ago I was getting ready to run out for the moonrise, when I remembered... I don't have a tripod! I broke a leg on my 12-year old tripod recently, trying to leverage myself out of deep snow; a new one has shipped but it hasn't arrived yet.

I could boost the ISO and apply noise reduction - and live with the loss in quality. Or... I could get out the trusty old beanbag! I opted for the latter, laying it flat on the roof of the rolling red Toyota blind - engine off - and for this shoot I also resurrected the 200-500mm lens. It may not be quite as sharp as my 500 prime, but I love the versatility of that zoom range, and really the optics are fine. And the combination was fine, too, as I managed to salvage the evening. 

Here the moon has risen above 70 Mile Butte, highest point in Grasslands Park. Those tiny knobby things you may see all along the ridge top are Mule Deer.
