Moon & Trees

This is my personal favourite of my moon pictures. With a large aperture of f/5.6 and a one second exposure, the light from the moon illuminated the bare winter trees in the foreground. It was just pure chance that this happened to me - I wasn't attempting to make the trees appear - but I was actually really pleased when I reviewed the image and noticed that they appeared to eerily creep into the frame.
