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.
