By now, I’m sure that you have heard of the Super Harvest Moon that the we in the Northern Hemisphere were lucky enough to witness last week. If you missed the news out on it, you can read some details here.

If you hadn’t heard, don’t feel bad — I didn’t even know until the evening it was happening. So, I rushed out with my camera and tripod to a site I know in DC that would have a rising moon as the backdrop: the Iwo Jima Memorial.

While I’m still sifting through photos from that night, I wanted to just provide a short preview of the output I’m looking for. I’ll get into a little of the technique I used in a later post. In the meantime, enjoy!
