Light Side of the Moon

Yesterday on my way out of the store, I saw the moon shining brightly against the darkening blue sky. Luckily, I had my camera and decided to test out the zoom capabilities of it. The moon was set kind of high in the sky, and the sun was setting beautifully not far to the right of it. I was surprised to see that the moon came in as clear as it did, and that the surrounding areas were black, and not blue.

I did do a bit of editing to the photo by enhancing the color levels, and applying a filter through the Virtual Photographer plug-in on Photoshop Elements.
