On June 23rd, Earth had it's closest encounter with the moon for the year of 2013. It was labeled the "Super Moon". Which means it is a full Moon where the Earth, Moon and Sun are all in a line. On average there are 4-6 "super moon" sightings a year.
Well, since we have a great roof top, I wanted to take advantage of seeing it. While I did not stay up late enough to see it's full super-ness, I was able to grab a photo. I am working on my photography skills by challenging myself to take all my photos in manual and this was a challenge!
