Bad Moon Rising | Show Me Nature Photography

Today, I’m featuring another recently converted digital file (from a 35mm slide). This beautiful moon was captured rising from behind the mountains of the Bosque del Apache of New Mexico:

While packing my equipment after a full day of photographing wintering sandhill cranes at the Bosque del Apache NWR in New Mexico, I looked around and saw this beautiful moon rising from behind the mountains in the refuge.

This image was captured pre-2004, when I was still shooting 35mm slides, captured during one of my photography trips to the Bosque del Apache NWR. I recently began converting some of those slides to digital files. It will take some time to convert my many slides to digital, but I will be featuring some of my fond memories of early nature photography with you, as I get them converted.
