Project 365 Day 126 - May 5th

It's a SUPER MOON!!!  The full moon we are seeing tonight is supposed to be the largest and brightest full moon we see all year.  I, of course, couldn't resist taking my tripod and camera outside for a few shots.  Since I already did a few full moon shots earlier this year, I didn't want to use a photo that was just the moon.  As I played around with my shutter speed, I ended up with this shot... I left the shutter open for about 2 seconds, which allowed me to pick up the aura around the moon, as well as several flares reflecting off of objects below on the ground.  It's shots like this that make me feel artsy.  :)

Project 365 Day 38 - February 7th

All day I had contemplated what I was going to do for today's photo.  I had no ideas floating in my head whatsoever.  My hubby had to go to work this evening to take care of a few things, and right after he left he told me to wait about 30 minutes then to go out on our balcony and look at the moon.

I was so excited when I realized how clear and bright it was tonight, not to mention it was a full moon.  Since I knew I'd need my tripod in order to get a clear shot, I had to wait another hour until it was high enough that I could see if from the ground over the surrounding buildings and trees.

After about 35 minutes outside and 30+ shots later, I finally narrowed it down to two shots.
