April (Almost) Full Moon

My project to photograph every full moon for a year was almost thwarted by the weather. The full moon was slated for Wednesday so I wanted to photograph it on Tuesday evening when it would rise just about the same time that the sun would be setting: perfect light. The problem was the forecast called for rain from Monday through Wednesday. If I wanted to shoot the moon, my only option was go out on Sunday, even though the moon would be pale in the afternoon sky, and it would not be 100% full. Sometimes you just have to take what you can get.

While I was waiting for the moon, I took this panorama (4 photos merged together) of Anderson Reservoir. Click on the photo it see it enlarged.

I may try this spot again in May if the weather cooperates.
