I was all excited to shoot the full moon as it was rising over Black Mountain. Moonrise was 8:31PM so I figured it would be another 20 minutes until it cleared the ridgeline. There would still have been a good bit of daylight and it would have been a nice shot with Mt Baker off to the side.
DOH! More like 70 minutes later - been living here for 12 years and only now just learned this.
The resultant photos are nothing to write home about - lots of smoke in the air (I can smell it) so no detail, just a bright fuzzy disk shining through some sharp tree silhouettes (it was accurately focused, just a lot of smoke).
