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.

All of your photos are awesome! Ember and I unfortunately missed any good shots by just having a lots of clouds earlier and a crappy phone camera--but we are enjoying the view out the window now. Looking forward to seeing more of your much more professional shots :) 

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Aww...very sweet.  It really looks like Ember is checking out the moon.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

I agree...this is a very sweet picture of Ember looking at the moon.

[F, Calla & Luca]

Love this shot.

[Pat and Traveler]

Jen--this is really cute!  Looks like Ember would go get that moon for you.

[BG and Gavin]

Love this Jen!

[Linda, Charlie Brown and Beau]

I love this.

[Joy Williams]

Aww, I love this. He's eyeing the moon like it could be a ball that he should be playing with!

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

I love this one Jen!

Expedition notes: Unable to find Nora Jones CD.  Website says moonrise at 20:18.  Clock only goes to 12:00.  Trudge into yard after dark, probably about 20:18 for civilians.  Step in dog doo.  Scan sky in all directions: hard to see sky through trees and buildings.  Unknown if moon rises in east, like sun does.  Rescue purple ball from under bbq, as dog barking and whining hysterically, as usual when any toy a few inches out of reach.  Locate moon in Southeast quadrant.  Take photo and giggle inanely as camera uses flash.  Probably won’t help when photographing something 238,855 miles away.  Should have used tripod.  Mission accomplished at approx. 20:63.   

[Camilla and Darwin]

You are hilarious! :-)

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Too funny Pat.  I love this picture.
