Blurry Loon

A striking moonrise last night was nearly captured by your intrepid photographer. But sadly, in between discovering the pretty sight and starting snapping was a prolonged interlude of frantic running around the house searching cupboards for my well-hidden tripod. Once it was found it took another couple of minutes extending the telescopic legs and screwing on the camera to the base-plate, and by then the heavy clouds had all but hidden the moon from view.
