+Monday October 6 was the full moon. As the closest full moon to the [autumnal
+equinox][], it is the [Harvest Moon][]. It also happened to be a [supermoon][],
+making it slightly bigger in the night sky.
+
+I shot this photo from my back deck with my Fujifilm X-T5 and a Canon 100mm
+macro prime[^1]. Amazingly, this is a handheld shot too. I couldn't find a
+necessary bit of my tripod to mount the camera, so I made do.
+
+[^1]: Photography nerds will notice these are _not_ compatible components; I use
+    a Fringer EF-FX mount adapter for this.
