This past weekend I had the opportunity to practice my skills at Night Photography. An almost full moon was just coming over the horizon in the distance as I looked out my front door before going to bed. What I saw inspired me to grab my camera and delay crawling into slumberland.
This is one of the better shots I was able to capture. The clouds helped make for a more interesting photograph. You can see movement in the clouds since I had the shutter set to 30 seconds in order to allow enough light in to capture the photograph. I have to say I had lots of fun practicing Night Photography. I think I will have to venture into Joshua Tree National Park sometime soon so I can get a way from town and cars passing by.

Beautiful. I really like the trees silhouetted in the foreground.

Wow, that is awesome. I feel like a nocturnal animal looking out on the land. Makes me want to get a better camera.

Nice shot, the moon seems to be jumping right out at one.
