1. A very complicated Moon indeed! Love the super closeups!

   • Thanks John! I had fun using the long zoom! And catching the moon with the trees!

2. Love it, especially the tangled version!

   • Thanks! I had lots of tangled moon shots as the trees tried to hold it down! 😊

3. I’m glad you could see the moon! Our. Snowstorm was quite an obstruction.

   • Yes, it rose bright and beautiful under clear skies so I was happy to get some pictures.

4. Gorgeous photos 😀

   • Thank you so much! 🙂

5. We also saw a big moon last night. But it was cold and damp, so no photos from me. 🙂
   Best wishes, Pete.

   • Thanks, Pete. I’m glad you saw it. It wasn’t that cold here last night so I was happy to be outside for a while, even set the tripod up!

6. Amazing captures!

   • Thank you so much! 🙂 🙂

7. Nicely done, Susanne! You’ll have to tell me the settings you used, and did you use a tripod? I kept getting annoying clouds in my shots so I gave up, LOL!

   • Thanks, Terri. 🙂 I saw the moon rising clear and bright, so I went outside and set up my tripod. I shot in Manual mode: ISO 100, F 8.0 and 1/160 shutter speed. On full zoom. That translated to 108 mm focal length, though honestly, I still don’t understand how 600 zoom translates to focal length 108 mm; I haven’t mastered the technical language of photography. Fortunately, the moon didn’t seem to care! 😉

     • Thank you! The tripod really helps!

     • Yes, I think so! Probably even better if I used a remote shutter release! Maybe next time! 🙂

8. I love the ones with the branches in front of the moon!

   • Thanks so much! I like the ones with the branches too! 🙂 🙂

9. You need to find a way that horror writers could use a couple for book covers!

   • Well, now that’s a thought! They do elicit a certain kind of feeling, don’t they? 😁

     • Is there some place you can sell these images for people to use?

     • That sounds like work! 🙂 And I don’t think you can make much money if I believe a photography instructor I had once.

       For now, I just enjoy sharing them on my blog and entering a photo contest occasionally. Remember when Benji made it onto the iCat Care Calendar? That got me started. 🙂

     • I don’t want to saddle you with work! I just thought it would be nice to have your photos in the larger world than our very lovely one. I enjoy your bird photos so much and wish they were more readily available.

     • So sweet, thank you! I’ll keep that in mind in the future!

10. Wonderful

11. Nice shot 👌
