I recently was able to capture the full moon ( almost full ) as it descended behind Mt Whitney in the Eastern Sierras. I've tried several times to get this but usually the weather gets in the way. This time I got lucky, the smoke from all the fires around California obscured the mountains several days before I took this and several days afterword's.

Sony A7R3 w/ Sony FE 200-600 mm G
ISO 100, f/11, 1/80th sec exposure at 335 mm.

I wanted to try capturing it further away so I could use the lens at 600 mm for a larger moon but I was afraid the smoke would make it to hazy so I got closer to the mountains.

Thanks :). Yeah processed it in color but it just didn't grab me. When ever that seems to happen working on it in Black and White seems to do the trick.
 
Very nice
