In December, when the days are short, the moon sets over the Fairweather Range. On a few occasions over the past decade the full moon has set without the usual blanket of thick cloud cover. On these rare cool, clear mornings I head out with a camera, a tripod, a vision, and hope. On this morning it all worked out. To capture some detail of the moon I use a long telephoto lens with a focal length of about 400mm, or 8x magnification.
