moon

This was from a month ago in Rocky Mountain National Park, after I got back hiking in the dark from Sky Pond so I could shoot the sunset there, the stars were up and just as I got to the Glacier Gorge Parking lot, the moon was beginning to rise. So I quickly set up to shoot the moon rise because...

This was from a month ago up at Dallas Divide in SW Colorado. It's getting late in the Milky Way season with the Milky Way being more vertical then horizontal, which to me is my least favorite position for it. In this case with the partly cloudy sky and liked how they interacted with the Milky...

I couldn’t resist photographing the moon last week. This was shot with the Nikon D850 and then transferred to the iPhone to edit and upload.

I saw this Waxing Gibbous Moon last night and liked the patterns that the incoming marine layer was playing with the moon. So I grabbed the Sony A6400 with the 18-135mm and got this. It's at 135mm with no cropping as I liked the pattern of light in the clouds in the sky, my intent wasn't a super...

I set up my camera to do a time-lapse on top of Mt. Pilchuck this week. I'm afraid the heavy dew obscured most of the pictures, but did lead to an interesting effect on the rising moon.

Manley Beacon is that iconic peak that is most often seen from Zabriskie Point. When thinking about shooting the Milky Way in Death Valley a week or so ago I was looking for something different as I have shot the Milky Way from Badwater and the Race Track a bunch of times, so as I was thinking...

I perhaps should have embraced the almost full moon sooner. I had spent an hour composing so that it was just out of the frame, and by the time I had decided to include it there was a rather large cloud on the one side. But still, the end result seemed pretty cool. This was out at Joshua Tree...

Here is one of mine from the Lunar Eclipse with the Super Blood Wolf Moon in 2019. I was in Los Alamos, New Mexico and it was cold out! I was dressed in snow pants, snow jacket, snow hat, snow boots, wool socks, hand warmers in my gloves, and it was still pretty cold. This was shot with the...

"Back Yard Moon" Orange County ~ California ~ USA I did not plan to travel for an interesting foreground, so I just went with shooting in my backyard. This was the first run with my new Canon 100 - 400mm lens that I purchased recently. Also, I did put a 2X extender on it. I was able to...

Despite still having a cold, I was determined to spend as much time in freezing cold as possible, so that meant shooting the moon rise at sunset. This was taken in Los Alamos in New Mexico. Not sure if the radiation from all of their labs affect magnetic north, but I had a few issues with...

I posted a couple of moon shots in the Astro forum from last night taken just west of Flagstaff. This is one with the moon and the San Francisco peaks. The moon is slightly enlarged, I may need to make it still a little smaller. Not sure, so any thoughts are welcome here. I figured this more as...

This is another one where I then went wider to capture the sunset colors in the clouds. This is by Flagstaff Arizona. All comments are welcome, Jim

This is from just outside Flagstaff. I was going to be just a few minutes too late to catch the sunset at the Grand Canyon, so I took some road between Williams and Flagstaff that would give me an open view of the San Francisco Peaks and the rising moon. This is one of just the moon, I have some...

Today's Focus this Friday will be on the Moon. So please add your moon photos to this thread. Jim Here are a few of mine. From Trona Pinnacles

Here is the moon from last night. Captured with the Tamron 150-600mm and the Nikon D850. All comments are welcome, Jim

Driving back down from Sacramento last night, I was getting close to LA, around Magic Mountain and saw the moon had risen to the west so I took one of the next exits and stopped for 2 minutes to capture the moon. Taken with the Tamron 150-600mm G2 and the Nikon D850 in crop mode All comments...

The moon was looking rather blue tonight even though we are just a day or two away from the "Cold Moon" as it's called. These two shots are about 30 mins apart. In #2, the sky wasn't really that dark, but that's how it exposed so I left it that way. :) All comments are welcome, Jim PS. Taken...

Driving up to Cambria, we had stopped briefly in Santa Barbara and I saw in the early morning light that the moon hadn't set and was still up in the sky. So this is one of my first outdoor photos taken with the Tamron 150-600mm G2 on the Nikon D850. I ended up shooting some Full Frame, but then...

This waxing gibbous moon was shot in SoCal. I was just getting home from the gym, and saw some cool clouds and the moon. So out came the Nikon D850 and the 70-300mm. I shot this in DX mode. I might be getting the Sigma 150-600mm from Santa, if so I can get some nicer shots of the moon without...

Just before heading out to dinner tonight I saw the moon was visible still just after the sunset and thought it would make a great shot. This was with the Nikon D850 and the Nikon 70-300mm at 300mm and f5.6. I have found this to be a pretty sharp lens, though at 300mm it's a tad soft...
