Chasing the super moon

Pure luck shot as I adjusted my settings by the glow of my cell phone.



Civilization's ambient light and heavy overcast.


Three mosquito bites by now. Little buggers.


OK, the clouds won.
Back in 2017.

  4. Lovely shots of the moon Joanne. I have learned by bitter experience never to go our at dusk or later as any midge within a mile of me will be there in a split second.

  5. What moon? Rain clouds cover the skies here. My favorite is the last one... just peeking through. But then I really like the 2nd one, too... aw heck.. I like them all. They look kinda eerie and "Halloween-ish".

    1. To set the record straight, I used my "big" point and shoot Nikon, but I had to light up my phone to see, in the dark, that I had the camera on shutter priority.

  13. Now those are spectacular! Especially since they were taken on your cell phone. (oh I just saw your clarification ;-))

    I do have my mom's measurements for you but I don't see any email where I can write you. Can you get back to me via email and I can let you know the details? My email is on my profile. Thanks so much!
