The Moonrise, but Not the Super Moon

I guess I was a day too early, but the moonrise on Friday was still very nice and I was in a position to actually capture it.

Moon Through the Trees

Shot hand held, at 70mm. I didn't have my 300mm lens with me, not that would have made a big difference because I didn't have my tripod, either. Nor do I think the people at mini-golf would have been too happy with my set up slowing up play on the 14th hole.

Settings:
Exposure 0.002 sec (1/500)
Aperture f/4.5
Focal Length 70 mm
ISO Speed 320
Exposure Bias -2/3 EV

Moon Rising
Exposure 0.002 sec (1/640)
Aperture f/4.0
Focal Length 70 mm
ISO Speed 320

Saturday evening, I watched a huge, reddish moon rise as I was riding in the car, speeding down the highway. No chance to stop there, but I enjoyed the view.
