AHHHH! Early morning photography My favorite time to be out and about with the camera. Can't find better light #10213720Paul R. Nelson July 04, 2012
Indeed! The moon was bright enough, and yet low enough, that I had to lay flat on a rock so my shadow was not in the image. It was tough laying there watching the stars... #10213733Arthur Bohlmann July 04, 2012
