Description:
The moon is a great subject for landscape photography. During the full moon period in December 2009, I was in Williamstown spending Christmas with my sister and her family.

One particularly clear (and cold!) evening, close to midnight, I went out to see if I could do something with the moonlight and the trees.

I was not successful in my attempts to photograph the sort of image I initially had in mind, but was taken by the way the trees in this spot appeared to be reaching out for the moon and grasping at it.

There was nothing for it but to angle the tripod up and make an image! I'm quite pleased with the result, especially as you can see Orion quite clearly in the bottom left of the frame.
