Apparently 14% bigger, but I can't tell. Shot this last night.

Awesome.  Tripod?  What did you shoot it at?

Yeah, definitely tripod. Shot at ISO 400 - f8 @160 - 300mm lens on a 1.5 sensor body. Image was then further cropped to provide a better view.

You needed to shoot it when it was low to the horizon, with trees or buildings around to really see how much bigger it was. I tried shooting it for a good hour, but got nothing particularly useful. And I was freezing my butt off.

So how the heck did you shoot that thing so clearly?

There was a layer of cloud right at the horizon which did not add to the composition so I waited till the moon was clear then began shooting.

It's the biggest one I've ever seen, but I haven't seen very many.

 

Oh, wait... what where we talking about?

 

 

But seriously, that's a great shot. We had a big storm last night, and didn't get to see the moon at all. I'm hoping it will stay mostly clear tonight so we can at least say we saw the almost-super moon.

Great photo!!  Personally, I didn't think it looked that much larger, but I definitely thought the moon was brighter and it was easier to see the craters than normal.

After midnight and moon was pretty much overhead, the amount of light was incredible. You could see a shadow behind every object. My neighbors were out playing basketball and you honestly didn't need any other lighting. Oh yeah, fishing was beyond incredible says a few buddies who went sword fishing and went 3/5.

It's not the size that matters it's the motion of the ocean!!!

FANTASTIC!  But  I agree, it didn't look much bigger to me. I think it was only supposed to be 10% bigger? So maybe that much.

Yours is the biggest one I've seen!!!

That is an astonishing photograph. I am very impressed.

The moon here looked enormous at both horizons, although bigger on the dawn one, I thought. Also, it was almost painfully bright during the night. For sure one could easily wander around without a light. In fact I went to go look for Suicide by moonlight.
