Moonrise on New year's eve

Moonrise, originally uploaded by mukul.soman.

New year's eve was fun for me! Chugging long the D3s and a tripod, along with my 24-70 f2.8 lens, I was somewhere along the shorelines of Monterey bay. I jhad no clue where exactly it was though. Some location between Big Sur and Monterey is just about the closest I can guess. The reason for this act of crazziness was a desire to capture the blue moon rise, which happens only once every 3 years. It truly was worth all the hiking, when I witnessed this cosmic marvel. Posting the pic for you folks to enjoy.
