lunacy
.
The moon seemed a fitting subject this week for several reasons. There have been numerous bizarre phone conversations. I personally, have indulged in an inordinate amount of silliness. Even my camera got in the action with these two renderings of the exact same event. The difference was the push of one button. "Twilight" setting is used to preserve colors in moderate light. "Twilight Plus" is more of the same. The truth is that the sky looked a little like each photo. The moon is more accurate in the first shot, and the clouds are more accurate in the second..
My tripod is broken, so I used it like a monopod. Otherwise, I would have experimented with a multiple exposure for a third photograph..
La Luna was beautiful here too this week but I missed it - you captured the clouds and lighting wonderfully. I'm envious!
ReplyDeletewow...cool shots
ReplyDeletePlease drop at my SWF post also: in HERE. Thanks
Perfect catch for skywatch! Happy weekend! Mine's up too hope you can visit my corner too...
ReplyDeleteThe moon has been amazing the last couple of nights, but I don't have a camera that can capture it. My kids could not believe how bright it was outside. (In Taiwan, we lived in the city, so the bright lights drowned out any moonlight!) We are loving it, that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots! The first one is just... WOW!
ReplyDeleteWell, Craver, you don't seem any loonier than usual. (only kidding...sort of)
ReplyDeleteHappy Sky Watch!
very pretty
ReplyDeleteIn my job, you come to loath skies like those. Full Moons always means crazy busy......

Fantastic captures.
ReplyDeleteThe first pic is absolutely awesome. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteFeel free to check out my blog as well
Cheers

I think both photos are wonderful. Did you take those photos today or yesterday? The moon here is waning at the moment but your moon looks pretty big.
ReplyDeleteI have tried to answer you question on meditation on my post. Not very satisfactory, but I have tried!
Off to Turkey tomorrow for a fortnight's sailing.
See you in a couple of weeks.
Love Lorenzo. x
Heh, heh. (blushing) Um... Folks, that "x" from LorenzoTheLlama was purely platonic and 'Renzo, as I call her, is a girl. Er, woman. Anyway, (clearing throat) here's the answer to the question about my photographs.
ReplyDeleteThe two moon photos were taken nineteen seconds apart at 9:38 PM on Monday night, September 15, 2008. (Ain't digital photography great?!)
WOW! Love the moon shots, but to know that it's the same scene just different settings is amazing. Would have loved to see the combination. Don't you know how to do that now? (As if I know ANYTHING about photo-editing software!)
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots!
ReplyDeleteThe moon is the weirdiest thing to photograph. It is a law unto itself. hese are wonderful interpretaions of the beast.
ReplyDeleteInteresting! Moon and sky works well!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Klaus
The Moon is an incredible thing. It's something the Father made for a very special purpose, it is a dead hunk of rock, but it shines so beautiful, doesn't it.
ReplyDeleteAnd the spiritual analogy is obvious.
thanks for sharing these Craver.
You truly entered....."The Twilight Zone"...
I like both! I tried some moon shots this past week also, but didn't get a single one that I wanted to share.
ReplyDeleteI love this blog.
ReplyDeleteYours is definately one of my favs.
Keep up the great work you do.
God bless you, your family and talent.
Both captures are interesting, Cravervii. It's amazing what cameras can capture; our own eyes might never see this effect, although it was there all the time.
ReplyDeleteNice Sky Watch.
Gorgeous shots, especially the first one! I forget to look out at night.
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing - great comment on the llama's blog!
ReplyDeletei love moon pics mine NEVER turn out good though :( tear.
ReplyDeleteFabulous Lunacy!
ReplyDeleteMy hats off to you! I tried this the other night - I loved how the clouds seemed to be circling the moon - mine sticks - I like yours!
ReplyDeleteLunacy - great title.
Wow that is great. Both shots are intruiging. Did you stand there for a while just drinking in the scene?
ReplyDeleteWhat exotic vision! I Love these pictures! it is such a wonder, how the water in the clouds reflect moonlight and creates a luminous halo in the sky. When I was a child, upon seeing such a sight, I used to think, that God has made an appearance upon the canvas of the sky and is watching us! :)
ReplyDeleteHey smarty pants, your photos are becoming rather sooper in a dooper kind of way.
ReplyDeleteLove these moon shots.
How are things with you mate and yes I did just cut and paste one of your old comments for my bolg, I mean blog!
byeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Hey, I think that is my moon! :)
ReplyDeleteBoth are wonderful shots!
ReplyDeleteI had a corona this week too. Aren't they gorgeous?!
ReplyDeleteWonderful moon shots. I haven't had any success taking ones of the moon :( One day hopefully. Yours are great.
ReplyDeletethe moon has been spectacular this week in FLA. I even took a shot of it, but didnt come out as beautiful as it was!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful shots of the moon in both images. Great captures!
ReplyDeleteMoon-madness.... you are the master of madness with your wicked sense of humour... it is always a pleasure t call by here or to see your name in the comments..
ReplyDeleteGreat moon captures
Olá Craver VII, my friend!
ReplyDeleteYour sky is always marvelous!
Great captures and nice colors!
Hope you have a nice weekend, and send a beautiful flower for TODAY'S FLOWERS!!!

I just knew from the weird vibes that it was a full moon this week
ReplyDelete:-Daryl
Craver: Really cool shots of the moon, maybe I should try a tripod to get that clear shot.
ReplyDeleteOh, silly you. Your shots are stunning. I wish my silliness rendered something this positive! Very nicely captured.
ReplyDeleteThe phrase 'ghostly moon' comes to mind. Very eerie.
ReplyDeleteMarnie
Full moon over PNG this week too and here in rabaul we watch it rise over the ocean which is just wonderful!! Nothing like ol man moon is there???
ReplyDeleteBoth very eyecatching shots.
ReplyDeleteoh that first shot is just gorgeous. i have wanted to capture a picture like that for a long time but it's a bit beyond my little point and shoot.
ReplyDeleteExcellent shots.
