A full moon glowing orange low in a deep blue sky above a dark ridge of farmland, a line of fence posts just visible along the crest and the ground below in near-total shadow.

Full Moon, Low

September 2020

1D X Mark II, 400 millimetres, f 8, 1/125 of a second, ISO 100

The only thing lit was the thing doing the lighting.

A full moon close enough to the horizon to go orange, with the fence posts along the ridge just picking out where the land ends. Long lens, exposed for the moon so its surface holds detail and everything else drops into the blue. It is the simplest frame in the astro set, and the one that needed the least explaining.
