Moon with a Grounded Perspective, originally uploaded by Our Enchanted Garden. Tried this shot last night. I wrote in the description;"I wanted to get a shot lined up just over the roof of this building. I was a bit rushed and then even delayed because of the clouds. The streaks give a good idea of how fast the clouds were moving. I'm just experimenting and this is perhaps the third time I've tried to "shoot the moon" so I didn't expect to do exceedingly well on this session. Eventually though I expect I'll be able to capture some interesting night sky shots. I look forward to warmer temperatures when I might be more apt to head out for night shots!
For me; what makes digital photography so satisfying is the settings record. I can go back and check what settings I used on a particular shot and either try to improve on it or duplicate it depending on what I'm trying to achieve. So the photos themselves become my own reference material for future work!
Just can't seem to beat that - if someone wants to learn photography, I suggest now is propbably one of the best times ever! The equipment keeps improving and if you have an artistic eye you are likely to surprise yourself with the happy results!
I have another moon shot that's a bit prettier and has good detail;
this shot was taken earlier in the day on Saturday the 11th. The Moon is supposed to be full on March 14th but I suspect it'll appear full tonight March 13th and will likely be full in the wee hours of the morning of the 14th. Just based on how it looked last night. Though obviously the atmosphere was more clear on Saturday...
That's the other challange; attempting to photograph nature in action. Nature doesn't always cooperate and a storm tonight or heavy clouds could spoil the fun quickly! I'll see what fortunes come my way this evening when I spy the sky to eye the Moon!
Until then!
