Full moon over the Sierras, taken from our deck in Auburn, California.
This photo was taken from our deck, during a recent full moon. I wasn’t going to bother photographing it, because I didn’t want to set up the tripod. I also didn’t want to use a high ISO.
I decided I had nothing to loose but a little time. So, I gave it a shot anyway. I captured this photo hand held set at ISO 1000. I’m really glad I made the effort. I love the results!

What would you have done in this situation? Would you have shot the moon at a high ISO, or not shot the moon at all?
