full moon over the angeles national forest

yesterday's full moon in the morning from mount hawkins. there's something so alien about seeing the moon out during the day to me for some reason.

sooc, om-5

bonus pic, moon behind clouds on the way up the trail:

also took some twilight/sunrise photos but they're not the most interesting. may still post them some time later anyway

I feel like a daytime moon is more definitely orbish, not disclike. Reminds you that the Earth you're standing on is also an orb.

This is good art. Tiny little moon, dead center, stunning vista.

i actually think i failed to capture just how large the moon seemed in person. i took a number of shots to try and frame the scene differently, but the moon's position was still a bit too high to punch in while also effectively including the landscape to establish perspective. if the socal smog weren't there and if i waited an hour or so, the shot probably could've been better with the moon closer to the horizon. ah well, live and learn
