Allen Hill Sheep Farm

Martha's Vineyard
Kirstin and I made a quick trip to MVY to 'put the Gadget to sleep' (ie, close the cottege for the winter) yesterday/today--the moon was so incredible driving up island I made Kik drive past our driveway up to the sheep farm where I knew we'd get a clear shot-
Lots of noise, but not much I could do about it--no tripod, highest ISO, and a very shaky and uneven fence post to balance against. Wish I could have closed down the shutter to get the moon in more def, but couldn't risk the slower shutter, already boardering on way way way too slow :)
It was so dark I didn't see the sheep until I opened the file, lol!

Canon EOS 5D
1/2s f/2.8 at 27.0mm iso3200 full exif

Beautiful. This has sort of a "Christmas night" feeling to it.

Dramatic shot. Almost other worldly. And sharp for a hand hold at 1/2 sec.
