Super Moon Night!

Saturday evening was the Super Moon for 2012.  In case you don't know what that means: its a full moon during the calendar year of 2012 that is closest to Earth (when compared to the other full moons of 2012).  The full moon this year was 15,400 miles closer than its typical average.  So the moon appeared brighter and 14% larger.  The moon pictures are after the following set (while waiting for the sun to set I was just playing at the beach).

Smess this pictures is just for you since you like pictures "with multiple depths."  

I took about 30 pictures to get this one shot just for you.

Thanks to Sends and his constructive criticism, my new and improved camera settings allowed me to get the next shot!  The sun was actually already fully set when I snapped this picture.  Crazy right?  Not really sure how I managed it.  This shows the Waikiki Beach Hotel Strip.

The Super Moon looks like its rising right out of Diamond Head Crater.

T3i: SS 0.6, f 5.6 ISO 3200, FL 18.0

Shortly after the moon started to rise over Diamond Head, I realized there was too much light around Kapiolani Park, so I headed to a lookout at Diamond Head, which turned out to be ideal.  I was able to get away from the other lights, and it also afforded a view of the moon reflecting off the ocean by the seaside neighborhood of Kahala.  (tip: click on the pictures below so it magnifies them otherwise they are hard to see since the frame is dark compared to the blog's bright background)
