4th of July full moon

While I was taking photos of my neighbor's fireworks, I snapped a few shots of the full moon once it got above the trees.

Nice one, I am hugely obsessed with the moon! Teenager did a course in Astronomy and I learned so much while he did. I like that you caught it low enough in the sky to still get the sepia-orange glow that comes from seeing it through the atmosphere and dust.

wonderful capture

This gives me an idea for your get-pushed challenge. Photograph the moon with something of interest in the foreground. This task is surprisingly difficult, because the moon is so much brighter than the surroundings. Some techniques that you might try are black card https://hanjies.blogspot.com/2009/10/black-card-photography-part-i.html
HDR, and composites.

@casablanca Is that why it was so orange. I actually dialed back the saturation to remove some of it. It was really orange.

@tdaug80 Oh, my, that is difficult. I've tried before, but never succeeded. I'll give it a try.

@homeschoolmom I love the stages of the rising! Always very orange immediately after she appears above the horizon and gradually lessens as she climbs through the atmosphere and dust. Once she clears that, she is the traditional bridal white. So if you prefer a white moon, just wait a short time and watch her rise. You would be amazed how fast her position changes. Pretty soon she will be glowing white.
