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.

2nd of my best two - and ALL them are junk!  This was way harder than I thought - lol.

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

I like this one a little better because you can faintly see the outline of the palm trees and a little bit of the moon's reflection on the water.  At this point the moon was not looking for Super Moonish - beautiful color but not any larger than normal. 

[F, Calla & Luca]

That's why I've given up. When they are really good they look like a cantaloupe and when they are OK they look like nothing much : )

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

If it's any consolation Jane mine are WAY worse. I think yours look great!

[Nicky, Riley & Boris]

I had such a giggle going through all your posts,  some great photo's too.  TG no supermoon here, I did check last night but it was so cloudy and cold I only opened the back door for Riley to go out, breathed a sigh of relief that there was no moon to be seen and headed back to my couch beside my open fire!  I will check again tonight.

I enjoyed viewing everyone's moons! Grat job ;-) I'll try to show you my moon tonight if I can :o)

[Anne & Mr. Haley]

I, too, have enjoyed seeing everyone's moon shots.  No moon here last night, just rain.  Probably no moon tonight.  Forcast is for mostly cloudy.

[BG and Gavin]

I got clouded out too.  Thanks everyone else that shared.

[Joy Williams]

I was really bummed last night that it rained - I had really been looking forward to this Super Moon. Luckily we went out on Friday night to try to see where would be the best place to  get some shots. It wasn't the "super moon" but I did get one decent shot  before the mosquitoes ate us alive...

[Bonnie and Kona]

Beautiful picture, Joy!

[Joy Williams]

Thanks Bonnie!

[Anne & Mr. Haley]

This is beautiful, Joy.  I know what you mean about mosquitoes.
