The first night we were camping, we saw the crescent moon and Venus together.



I tried taking a picture with flash, and wasn't sure how well it turned out. Not bad, I think. This was the best detail I could get.



I tried taking a shot without the flash, but the longer exposure blurred a lot. I then tried steadying the camera on an impromptu tripod (also known as 'a flashlight and a twig') but the longer exposure rid the moon of any pesky detail and I couldn't completely eliminate the blur. Still, it doesn't look bad.
