Shooting the Moon

We all know a full moon can tend to make everyone a little crazy.  Perhaps it is the exuberant vibe it casts.   
 
So this morning I ventured outside around 3:30 a.m. to set up my camera.  Now keep in mind this is my first time shooting the moon so no fancy photography was done here.
 
There was such a peacefulness looking up at the universe and seeing the glow of the moon shine down upon me. 

 
There is a special lunar name for every full moon in a year.  This moon is known as the 'Pink' moon because of the wild ground phlox which covers in the spring.
 
I did not cast any spells, but rather made a very magical wish.  One I do hope will come true!

Taking photos of the moon is tricky so well done for getting such a good result:-)

I love taking photos of both the sun and the moon, must have hundreds and hundreds of them by now, but none of them are the same!

Have a great week-end, take care, Helene.

Observing the night sky is a profound experience. Standing in awe is as close as I can get to describing the magnificence of the universe.
