I was practicing tonight for tomorrow's super moon. We have lots of wild fires in the area and the air is filled with smoke. Now they're saying that most of them were arson, and have made one arrest so far. Firefighters from all over the country are coming in to help.

I had to wait for the moon to rise higher where the smoky haze was a little thinner. The "Dehaze" function in Elements 14 helped a little.

Nicely done Sleepy. Full moons are tough to shoot, and did it well as can be done. We have clouds here.

Thank you, Sugar'sDaddy! Too bad you have clouds, I'd rather have some clouds than all this smoke.

Same in Nashville, a heavy stinky smoke fills the air. Sad about all the arsonist. We ran into a wildfire that was intentionally set along I-65 in Alabama last Friday coming home from Florida. It was so sad to see the forest on fire. Anyway...you've got the camera and lens to capture a great shot. Great job on this one, hope its even better tomorrow night.

Thanks, James! I hope the smoke starts to clear for all of the southeast. It is sad that people go around setting these fires. Thanks for your comment!
