I took this picture a couple of weeks ago on campus after getting out of class. It was a full moon and extra bright. This picture made me think about the different kind of "moon light" and how that can be translated in a theatrical setting. When a full moon first begins to rise it is right above the horizon and looks HUGE (an optical allusion). It's often more dim, orangey yellow color. However when the moon is directly above it can be a intense white light, like how it was in this photo. The moon alone this night was lighting through darkness, it was sharp and couldn't be ignored. This is so much different from the "romantic" purply blue moonlight we so often think of.
With the moon alone I can think of so many ways to experiment with light!

Really interesting contrast between the source of the moon and its rays of light and the flash from the camera on the green leaves! Really plays with foreground and background too! Nice :)
