This weekend happens to be the day when the moon is slightly closer to the Earth, making it about 12% larger than it normally is. It, therefore, makes moon photographers want to maximize the effort of taking their best shots at the moon.
In my case, I already had taken photos of the moon twice... once at a similar proximity, and another when an eclipse afforded a unique look at things. Still... I could not let slip this particular opportunity to try and take another picture... hopefully, a better one than the last time. My challenge this particular evening was the fact that it has been raining the past days, and the clouds were covering the moon. Still, I just waited for the clouds to part while setting up the camera, tripod and timer... after all, if I needed a relatively long exposure, I needed the shot to be stable... no shakes at all.
Clouds parted and I started taking pictures of the moon. Here is one example.
