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.

We have lots of clouds here but that is usually the case here when the moon is full!  Will be watching for a break in the clouds with camera ready.

[F, Calla & Luca]

Seems like not much hope here. I'll enjoy the photos you all take though.

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Thanks for the reminder, Joanne.  I'm not sure how clear the moon will be here....clouds all day.  I'm hoping though.

[Donna K & Quincy]

Joanne, When I go outside on a clear night and see the moon and stars I often think of you guys. Enjoy the music and the moon.

COMPLAINT!

I live in the 2nd cloudiest area in the U.S.  NE Ohio is second only to Seattle.  Are you all not going to do this... just because?

I am looking at all your weather reports right now!  You better all be so cloudy that the efforts would be impossible!

[F, Calla & Luca]

I thought that honor belonged to Syracuse, NY. I never planned to do it but the weather makes it quite impossible. Calla wants to go out so I will check again : )

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

As creator of the photography group.......... well, just saying.  Oh, okay. You enjoy all our efforts and you will watch us get burrs and coyotes and bug bites!  HA

[F, Calla & Luca]

I never got a Purple Heart--just saying.

[Donna K & Quincy]

F, You should get a Purple Heart for your CSI photos. :>)

[F, Calla & Luca]

Thanks but to me they are not a challenge. Dead bodies don't bother me under most circumstances : )

[Pat and Traveler]

Portland, listed as 2nd cloudiest, has a nice view of the moon tonight.  :)
