In the yard due to the many trees, the moon does not get high enough before after ten PM. Per my usual custom, I was out around midnight, waiting patiently for the airplanes to instersect the moon. To my chagrin, the jets passed in their flight path to the North of the moon. Had I waited until 3 or 4 in the morning, the moon would have aligned with the path, but I am not certain how many would be flying that time of morning. Giving in to the thought of not be successful, I snapped a few portraits with the moon in the background with the Canon S95. Set it on Shutter priority 8 seconds self-timer, flash minus two, cloudy sky WB,manual focus, 400 ISO....
This is the only straight flash shot. The others were taken without flash, but I used a strong flashlight to light the bushes, camera and myself in a blur.
