Full moon over Box Elder, SD
Photographed: 8/28/2007

Here is another moon shot taken a month earlier. It is a very nice "picture" of the moon for folks that are into that kind of thing. Myself being one of them.

The subject is what keeps this shot from being classified a "photograph". There is little or no interest in a picture of the moon. The focus is not perfectly clear. I keep trying tho. I am not sure if it is my lense or the fact that I am trying to get the entire moon in focus (One heck of a large depth of field required here). I will keep trying. Good thing a full moon is a pretty regular occurance.
