I inexplicably woke up at 6:20 am today and couldn’t get back to sleep. Suddenly realised that the new Chinese eighth lunar month is just two days away. So, I grabbed my camera and headed outside, hoping to catch a glimpse of the waning moon in the dawn light. With the recent rainy weather and thick clouds hanging around, it seemed a long shot. But luck was on my side—I spotted the thin crescent moon, only a mere 4.3 percent illuminated, hanging low in the brightening sky and peeking through the clouds. Only this shot, one of four I took, turned out sharp enough, though it was not the sharpest I wanted. Anyhow, it could have been worst, considering it was handheld at a shutter speed of one-fifth of a second.
