December, winter Full Moon, PHippsburg, Maine. The December full moon is called the Long Night Moon as it takes place around the longest nights of the year around the solstice
21 Jan 13.  Since I started this Daily Image mailing back in 2006, I've sold a total of two, and only two, images, both of which were nighttime images and both contained the moon. One was of a tree in an open field with a quarter moon shining down on the tree in early 2006, and the other was of the rising moon over the Seattle cityscape in 2007. So I thought it might be time for another nighttime moon scape - that may seem redundant but the moon is often quite visible during daylight hours - this time with some mountains. So I've selected an image from the trip last week up to shoot the eagles, and one that I shot a couple years ago, and put them together, much as I did with the image in 2006. I have no illusions that this will be the third seller, just thought it might be time to go with something that has had appeal on previous attempts. Nikon D300s; 18 - 200; Aperture Priority; ISO 200; 1/160 sec @ f / 8.
