My super moon shot

[BasilFawlty]

It was a warm end-of-August evening, and I was standing on the side of a busy interstate with my R5 and a Sigma 150-600mm with a 1.4x teleconverter. This was one of two Super Moon images I was hoping to shoot.

I arrived at the location for the shoot early so I could manually focus on the antenna that were 10 miles away. I figured if I got the antenna in focus, the moon would appear reasonably sharp also. As the moon began to show, I started taking a sequence of shots until the moon was well above the towers. This is the shot that I felt has the best overall composition.

This was shot with a Canon R5 with a Sigma 150-600mm at 568mm (I did end up cropping in post). ISO 100, f11, 1/60th
