Marion Moonlight

One day removed from full, a rising moon glows from amid clouds in the southeastern sky from Marion, Iowa around 10:00 PM, Monday, July 26, 2010. This composite shot was taken from Timber Oak Court, just off Boyson Road and west of Alburnett Road in Marion. Within an hour of this capture all of the obscuring clouds had gone. The sky was a four-second exposure at f/5.6 with an ISO rating of 400. The waning gibbous moon was shot at 1/2000 sec. at f/5.6.
