Full Moon

Stayed up late at the computer, crawled into bed, got comfy and saw this through the window. (Sleep? Never heard of it!)

The human eye can see a much wider gamut of light than even the most expensive camera. Caught up in the passion of “OMG! That’s so cool! I gotta get a picture of it!”, it’s easy to forget that the camera doesn’t quite see it the same way as I do. Exposing for the super-bright moon renders everything else black and exposing for the ambient scene around it loses the moon in a haze of brilliant light.

This picture is the most satisfying of the bunch but clearly the challenge deserves more consideration.
