A ruined daytime moonshot

I was trying to get me a nice daytime moonshot this morning, but this darn bird kept getting in my line of fire.  😀

Kidding aside, I started with an Av of f/11, but the moon was still way out of focus. I was about to dial in f/16 and f/22 for a deeper DOF, but the bird flew away before I can execute the adjustment. On the next similar opportunity, I'd start shooting with an aperture as small as the lens would allow.
