Wolf Moon over Downtown Red Wing



Wolf Moon-1

This is a photo I try to capture every year. It is the largest and brightest full moon of the year and is called the Wolf Moon.

Last year I missed the opportunity, but the year that (2009) I captured it, but about 5 minutes after it was at its most dramatic (Full Moon over Barn Bluff).

This year I suddenly remembered it was Wolf Moon time and I jumped in my car and drove all over town trying to find an interesting perspective. I pretty much ended up where I shot this moon 2 years ago. You have to be quick becasue this moon rises very quickly.

Shot in RAW, 47mm, 1/200 second at f2.8 hand held.
