Clinging to the Past
Day 118

Thanks to my Aunt for passing word last night from Florida that the moon was beautiful down there, and to keep an eye out for it.
( I caught it -- good toss! )

I had approximately 5 minutes to run and get the tripod before this beauty appeared.
The moon was orange, but it is slightly more pronounced because I had the white balance set on 'cloudy' and didn't realize it until later.
Hmm. I, uh, meant  to do that.

This is incredible, if you'd planned it for days ahead it couldn't get any better!!

What's to be said other than this is a wonderful shot, worth all the scrambling around to get it. Sweet!

This is what I was trying to get the other night and just couldn't manage it...maybe I should drag out the ol' F717 once in a while....terrific photo!!

So the 'Blue Moon ' on Aug 31 st was really red by the time it got to your place :>) Hard to sleep with that hanging over your head isn't it. Great set of shots Carmen.

How do I always miss these things? I went to bed at 2 a.m. and the back yard was lit up.. i knew the moon must be bright but.. i was .. um.. tired.
Beautifully done Carmen.. the colors are perfect

This is exactly why I want to learn to use my camera...so I can take beautiful photos like this one. Can't do the moon when all you use auto setting! This is just so lovely, Carmen. Extra thanks to your Aunt.

Carmen this is such a beautiful image although you 'purposely' set your white balance on cloudy. Enjoyed all of them.

I knew I should have taken my camera out to view the Moon.(I am in IL also)
Beautifully done.

We had the same amazing red/orange moon last night. My son kept urging me to set my camera up, but I was quite settled in for the night. I am glad you were more motivated than me! This is a great photo!!
