Tonight-Shoot the Moon. The SuperMoon

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

We have an on going discussion in the photography group.  Shoot the Moon.  Many of these shots were taken with a telephoto lens.  Not tonight.  All you need is a regular camera or even your cell phone.  I'll be taking the music of Nora Jones with me ( thank you Donna).  Here is the music.

There are a lot of old legions about the SuperMoon: going insane, going blind.. anyway, it is powerful. 

BRIAN WILLIAMS explains in this next video about the Supermoon

Try to capture Scale and join us  with your pictures in the discussion.

Even if you don't feel like taking pictures, enjoy a beautiful evening outside with your dogs. 

Here is how: 

The moon will rise at 9:35 EST tonight.  The first hour or two is the best for capturing the moon.

Yeah but you'd be in Omaha : )

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

Dori - this is beautiful!  Auto everything on my camera got me crap!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Great job, Dori.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Good one, Dori!!

[Camilla and Darwin]

Tried to see the "giant" moon tonight when it rose. It looked completely normal sized... am I missing something? Perhaps it's because I live so close to mountains? It was pretty bright though.

[F, Calla & Luca]

I like these shots. I find most celestial things are overrated sometimes to the point that I don't see them at all. And then every now and agin I'll see a fabulous moon or sunset just by happenstance. But the moon is supposed to be best, biggest, just as it's rising.

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

I really love the first one!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Great, Camilla.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

I like these, Camilla!!
