Holding the Moon

Description

My husband went outside to get wood to fill the stove, and when he came back inside, he said I should go look at the moon. I peaked outside and quickly ran around and grabbed my gear. I always love seeing the moon, especially when it looks like this, with a thin coverage of fog/clouds and the branches of the trees looking as if they're holding the moon. It was bright enough, that I didn't need a tripod, just rested my elbows on the railing and keeping my camera as steady as I could. I was adjusting my settings a lot, as the fog would get a bit thicker, then thin out, and I wanted to keep the golden glow as much as possible, as it was so beautiful with just the naked eye.
