Strawberry Moon

Tonight was what is known as the strawberry Moon, in short just a full moon I guess they give these things nicknames depending on the time of year etc...  I was totally unaware it was happening tonight until I saw a story on Accuweather this afternoon.  I guess the weather weenie inside of me should have had an idea it might be around the time of a full moon or new moon as the tides have been running high this week!

I used my app that I have on my Ipod to see where might be the best place to go to try and get something in the picture itself, anyone can go take a photo of the moon but I like to have something else in there if I can work it.  In the end the jetty was the final destination!  I used the telephoto lens with an aperture of 5.6 and i messed around with the shutter speed here and there to give the water a little blur at times while still keeping the photo properly exposed.  At one point two people walked out to the end and they did end up in the photo, but it was just two instead of the 50 that are in my other moon photo!  Eventually they left and I got some nice ones without them in the photo.
