Try to get a photo with the moon in the background because there will be a "super moon" on Sat. This means the moon is very close to the earth and will appear huge!

Moonrise is 5:15p per Accuweather.com so I'm planning a little run up into the local mountains around 4 to scout a location.

Hope some of you might consider taking a nice pic too.

I used an old 80-205mm lens from an old Nikon FE. The kit lens on my camera was surprisingly difficult to work with...

Had to used all the manual settings on the camera with the old lens, but it worked out pretty decent.
