I have been waiting for a shot like this for a long time. The moon was not visible until about 15 minutes after sunset and it sort of exploded into view from behind a thin haze. No warning, no slow start – just nothing, then this awesome view! (Canon Digital Rebel SLR with 300mm lens, effective 450mm zoom thanks to the Rebel’s built-in 1.5x conversion. f/6 1/200 sec. 400 ISO.)
