7/02/04 - Under-Developed SP

Today's looking to be crazy, so I didn't have time to do the SP properly. Had to pop it out of the developer too quickly. Neither the luxurious shock of hair on the top of my head nor my baby blue eyes came out properly. And pay no attention to the faux gray in the beard; it's just a jpeg compression artifact -- honest!

BTW, for those of you who know how to photograph the moon (obviously doesn't include me), tonight is the official new (Thunder) Moon, and July 31 will be another full (Blue) moon.

Nikon D70 ,Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom
PS neon edges and probably some other futzing full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Thanks for setting the record straight, I realized it was the BEGINNING of the month, so clearly that makes sense...I tried to get a moon shot, or at least went to my favorite spot to shoot the moon but the San Francisco fog was having none of it!! So I went and had a beer instead. That happens sometimes!

Hold on, Jeanne dear. Tomorrow's new/full moon is called the Thunder moon. The Blue moon is the second new/full moon in a given month. (Of course I base this on what I heard on the radio a couple days ago; If you can't trust NPR, who *can* you trust? lol)That's why I was trying to take a decent moon shot on Wednesday (6/30) night -- I thought it might be new/full and, therefore, Blue. Alas, (always wanted to say that) it was not to be Blue (or a decent shot). But now (July) we will have a real Blue moon. I hope to get decent shots of both tonight's Thunder moon and 7/31's Blue moon and do something interesting with the two of them. So, I won't be posting a moon shot (yuk, yuk) tonight, besides, I've already posted by ever-so-handsome SP. (I have a composite I made of my face in/on the moon, but I didn't take either of the photos, so it's not legit for here.)
