Contrary to what the title may lead you to believe, this post is actually about a few shots of the Moon that I took today and not about some new method of drinking alcohol that’s doing the rounds. The Moon was exceptionally bright today and also very large. I saw it while driving back from home from work. I just had to take a few shots of it with my recently acquired Sony 75-300mm lens. All the shots are at quite a high shutter speed as the Moon was really bright. The exif data of the original image accompanies the respective image.
