In April of 2003 we went on a family vacation to Las Vegas! Everyone had a great time (first time, but not the last, to see Blue Man Group!) and I got an early birthday present: a Canon Powershot A70! Then we adjourned to the Grand Canyon, where Kirsten and I braved the icey cold (it snowed…) and went out to see the full moon over the Grand Canyon. I got these shots out on a rock point jutting out into nothingness…a tripod was used…Robyn, you would have loved it: you couldn’t see that there wasn’t any there…there…{!-{>

The original images are almost black; I have processed these to make them visible.

Looking East toward the Full Moon…
(15 seconds, f2.8, 5.4mm, ISO not recorded)
There actually is too much tonal range between the Moon and the Blackness here; there is almost no detail in the darkness of this photo, unlike the two above.
