Spring Moon Rising - OBX Series / by Dave Hileman

The moon was one day past full and rose from the East at 10:16 PM one day we were at the beach campground. It was interesting as it first appeared as an orange smudge then rounder and fuller as it rose. I was not getting much of a reflection so I moved behind a small clump of sea grass and got much lower to the sand and shot the moon through the grasses. What I did not expect was that a few of the stars also appeared with the exposure. The experience was better than the photo and I hope to get another chance at this someday with a few changes that I may have learned.
