This is such a breathtaking shot of the full moon! I saw it the other day, but ours was behind a mist of clouds. Great photo you got!

Oh man that’s so big and beautiful. What focal length was this taken at? Somewhere around 1000mm?

Thanks everyone, your comments are greatly appreciated!

The moons’ color was awesome as it rose above Arrowsic Island. It was not until much later and higher in the sky when the moon gained it normal color.
