Capturing the Moon's Earthshine

What I love about crescent moons is the so called earthshine, which is a faintly visible illumination of the dark side of the moon. It's called earthshine because it's the Earth's reflected light cast on the night side of the moon. In the past three days, I observed the waxing crescent moon and took photos of it.
