2,958 Meters Above The Sea in Hunt for The Moon

Leading on to the wait for the supermoon to rise from the back of the mountain trails, we were provided with a view of a sea of clouds under us from where we waited.

The sunset view from the peak of Mount Gede (2,958 meters). The wind had blown rather harshly this time around, yet along with it we have to walk across the trail provided to where we are going to camp and wait for the supermoon. Also shown in this photo is the peak of Mount Pangrango (3,019 meters), a sister mountain to Mount Gede. It was said that it would only take 3 hours to walk peak to peak, but we decided not to because my crews said the scenery from there is dissapointing.

Out from all the pictures that I managed to take of the moon, this one is the one which turned rather perfect. Being only a compact camera, I tried really hard for it to get the longest shutter speed time and with my hand not moving at all. I have to hold my breath for around 5 seconds for it to turn like this. The moon was shown to be rising from behind the wall that is the road to the peak of the mountain. It was really bright, although it may not seem as big as it should be.
