Perigee Moonrise

I thought I would go out last night just to breathe in the crisp air and experience the beautiful moonrise. I don't really have the proper camera equipment to capture a moon the way it should be photographed. ( a Celestron lens would be nice, haha )

As the time for the moon to rise came closer, I found myself gathering my camera and tripod to take something just as a memory. As it turns out, I have family and friends who weren't able to view this awesome event due to cloud cover so I'm really glad I was able to get something to share.

I'm sure there will be perfect, expert images all over the internet tomorrow, but for now, I'm happy that I've got these.
