Nearly Set Orange Moon of May 14

Low in the sky, the setting moon of May 14th is large and a dim orange light in the sky. 20% illumination.

When I saw the moon hanging there, the sight was captivating and I rushed to get my gear and get some shots, but there was so little light from the moon at that point, as it was almost down to the horizon. It was difficult to get a good exposure. I had to push the ISO up and the shutter speed down, so the detail didn't come out well. I think I need to order one those new Canon 200-400mm f/4L IS lenses. Ya, that's what I'll do… daydreaming.
