Beaver’s Full Moon Rising

Beavers Full Moon RisingAnother spectacular moonrise this evening. The November Full Moon is referred to as the Beaver’s Full Moon. Here, we see the moon rising above the ’scrub oak’ on a ridge east of Park City, Utah.  This shot was taken using the Canon Rebel XTi for a 1/30 second exposure at ISO400 shooting at prime focus through the Astro Physics Starfire Refractor. I picked this image because it had the best foreground display. I processed it in GIMP and did a Curves function on it. I pushed the low end up and the midrange down. This brought out the foreground (earthly objects) and dimmed the moon. The moon was previously a bit washed out. Pulling the midrange down a bit brought the moon under control and revealed a bunch of surface detail.
