I was travelling along a dark mountain trail before sunrise, on my way to bird Mt. Polis (Cordillera mountains, North Luzon, Philippines) a couple of weeks ago, when I saw the full moon hovering just above the mountains to the west. I stopped my vehicle and waited a couple of minutes for the setting full moon to kiss a distant mountaintop. There was no time to set up a tripod, nor add a longer TC. So I just put my bean bag on top of the roof of my vehicle, then fired off some quick shots with my default birding combo.
The tiny "growths" at the sloping mountaintop are actually huge forest trees. :)
