The last time I was really paying attention to the moon was the during the few days I spent up north at the Ray family retreat. As you might recall, I spent the drive home on the side of US-23 blowing chunks. I'm pretty sure I have the Olympic record for projectile vomiting.
Wednesday evening, with my new toy in the hand and the night to myself, I went over to Elizabeth Park to see what I could see...
The moon. Never a dull subject. I couldn't agree with the astronomers and photographers more - yes, the moon is more dynamic when it is not full. With only a part of the face lit, the mountains and mares are so much more inviting.
No, I did not take this picture with the camera on a tripod. I hand-held the rig. At 1/1000th of a second, I wasn't too worried about blur in the image. Maybe next time, I'll use a more stable set-up. Any way you look it, I'm just tootin' around.
Seeing this beautiful sight is even more appealing knowing the people around me are not dying of the plague.........
