A Hazy Lunar Eclipse
Last night I stood last night on a soccer field hoping to photograph the lunar eclipse. Unfortunately, the cloud cover made it tough to locate the moon and when I did, the photo looked like a Paul Klee watercolor…which I like.

Hint of Moon
Yesterday around 10:30 a.m. I was pruning a tree when I realized I was looking at the moon in clear skies. Dropped the shears and got the camera–needed a break anyway–for this shot.

The Lunar Eclipse was This Close…
At about three hours before the start of the lunar eclipse this morning, the moon was as bright as I have ever seen it. My normal SLR setting for moon shots triggered this notation: “subject is too bright.” Took this photo then went back inside where I fell asleep. No blood moon for me.

Moon Craters
Three years ago, using a tripod in my backyard and a 300mm lens on a Nikon5100, I captured the bottom of a full moon. To this date I am amazed by the moon’s craters in this shot.

Backyard Moon
Went into our backyard about ten minutes before sunset yesterday. Saw the moon. Got my tripod and camera. The line is a telephone wire and the leaves are from the neighbor’s tree. And in the middle, of course, is the moon. Used a 300 mm lens, manual focus, 1/80 sec at 7.1. Peace.

Full Moon Tomorrow
I got a head start last night on Friday’s full moon in California with this shot. Confusing sentence? In some parts of the world the full moon is this Saturday, but where I live, we go full tomorrow, Friday.
