I was running to find a place to get this image, and ended up there rather late–I wanted the moon to wind up in the crook of the curved top of one of the cypresses. This location afforded an excellent candidate, but I had wasted too much time, and wasted more setting up my tripod and fiddling with my compact flash cards, so the moon is rather high. Distant foliage really brings out the inherent resolution limit to my 300D’s sensor, and this image could be better. Nevertheless, I like the composition, and will have to make a project out of improving on this shot next time I have a chance to go to Point Lobos with a full moon.
