I know this picture has a lot wrong with it, the biggest thing being that I completely blew out the moon :-/ I almost didn't get a picture in today. I originally posted one that I took with my iPhone driving to work after dark! But then after work I was walking out to my car at 1 AM (I've decided it's still all one day if I haven't gone to bed yet, as my schedule is a tad whackadoodle), and I looked up at the sky, and the moon and the surrounding clouds just looked AMAZING! It's probably a good thing no one else was around because I likely looked like an idiot standing in the driveway snapping photos of the sky with my iPhone. And no, none of those were worth keeping! I booked it home (at least the anticipation helped me stay awake), swapped out lenses, grabbed the tripod, and tried to get some pics from my front lawn. I kept tweaking settings and trying different approaches because I wasn't getting what I wanted (and as I already mentioned, I kept blowing out the moon!), and of course the clouds cleared out before I could try much more. I do like how the clouds look here but I'm definitely going to have to do some research as to which settings are best for this situations! And if you have any tips, please mention them in the comments, thanks! :D
