The suburban residents were welcomed on a full moon Wednesday night and on a sufficient Tuesday. A full moon that appears after the harvest moon in the month of October is called Hunter's Moon.
According to the farmer's almanac, autumn is the time to hunt with the fall of the leaves and the deer fattening. Since the harvesters have harvested the fields, the hunters, with the help of the full moon, can easily see the animals that came to glean themselves – and the foxes that came to hunt them. The first use of the term "hunter's moon" cited in the Oxford English Dictionary dates from 1710.

While I was photographing St. Charles East against Lake Park during a football semifinal at Addison on Tuesday night, I could not ignore the full moon of October rising in the eastern horizon. I hoped that geese cross the sky in front of the moon, but I realized that the boys football team of the Benet Academy was warming in the field where they were nestled. I waited and watched and when I saw their drills end and the players started throwing the training balls up in the air, I knew I had a chance to take a picture. The most difficult part was trying to photograph the game action that was assigned to me and quickly change the exposure and turn around to try to catch a training ball while crossing the full moon. I had the chance to grab the right moment. I used a Nikon D5 camera with a 200-400mm lens set to 400mm. My exposure was 1/800 s, f / 13, ISO 5000. The photo may have a smoother grain with a lower ISO, but I did not have time to make many adjustments between the simultaneous shooting of two things 180 degrees other.
