At 5:40 am yesterday morning I crept from my bed. I fumbled for my glasses and headed for the back patio. Yes, on the weekend. Why? The MOON! It's big and full and just begging to be photographed. Between 5:42 and 5:46 I took about 60 shots of it. I kept these 4.
I put the camera in manual mode and just stopped at every setting on the dial - click click click. It's still dark out at 5:40. Even with my glasses on I can't see which setting is which. I figure why not try them all? I guess I could get out the cameral manual, but where's the adventure in that? I prefer to just keep trying. As long as the neighbors don't see me in my lime green, flamingo patterned, rumpled, capri pajamas out on the patio messing around and call the police. I'm thinking they might not take me seriously if I told them the moon was talking to me.

Just so it does not make you howl. But then who cares if it does.

I like the one with the blue background best. Because when you enlarge it, you can see little white dots (stars) to the right of the moon. And of course the little red dots (UFOs) farther to the right and lower. I would not mention that to the officer though.

Sounds like something I would do. I love the moon and your shots are hauntingly beautiful.

I discovered your blog after taking your sister's class - Remains of the Day. I look forward to reading your blog each day. You are funny, obviously talented and quick witted and just plain fun!

What a great idea...I have been so stifled with my camera cause I rely upon having to read the directions first! Must be that Catholic school nun thing. Yipeeeeee, now I am following your lead just trying every setting. Love the photos!
