Moon lighting

Was planning for month to go out to a farmers field on Feb 20th to shoot the moon.

Plans rarely work for me so I ended up doing this from my own back yard, and even then it was a fight. Everyone decides to turn there outside lights on a night that the moon puts on a show for us. It happened in the last meteor shower so wasn't surprised.



I took 78 shots that night, and I got I think 8 shots that made me smile, so 10% is really good for me, I often take 100 shots and like 3 (thats 3%). Oddly, 5 or so of the ones that I liked are mistakes I made. And that too is often the case, I`ll try so hard for a shot that I block out a potential shot or my camera sees something I don`t.


Anyway. here are a few shots I liked, and i`ll post a slide of the eclipse as I saw it, remember I took 78 or so shots and this movie only uses a small number of them.





Sometimes mistakes are good.
