The strawberry moon occurs once every 70 years. Typically i forgot all about it and went to bed, woke with a start at about 4 am and remembered. Fortunately the moon was still visible
Increased the ISO some to see if it provided better overall results ... I think the version at ISO 2500 was better. But then that could have also been because the wind was gusting more or less.
The winds were around 20 to 30 MPH last evening ... and bitter cold with temperatures heading towards 15 degrees F.
Had to have the gloves off to manually focus the lens ... brrrrr.
A tribute from nature for those who perished as well as those who had their lives forever altered on Sept. 11. In so many ways it seems like yesterday and prayers that there is never a tomorrow like that day again.
The moon on this night (August 17th) looked full but it doesn't technically become a full moon until August 18th at 2:27 PDT. It seemed especially bright tonight and looked wonderful. There seems to be many names for the moon on for this particular lunar showing. Sometimes referred to as the "Full Green Corn Moon", "Blueberry Moon", "Full Sturgeon Moon". the later name from Native American stories that this is the best time to fish for the namesake Sturgeon.
Went out on this relative clear evening to catch the moon there in the 'blue sky'. There was some very very thin cloud layer there that added just a hint of glow as the sun was setting.
You can compare this view to the one night before in the darker sky. Like the moon here on the blue sky at sunset.

"And the Moon, ---We have measured for her mansions (to serve) till she returns like the old (and withered) lower part of a date stalk."
I cropped the actual shot and it seems closer than using 200mm coz its 10.2 Megapixels =)

I was amazed the sky cleared enough to get a shot of it. Its done nothing but rain here since last friday. But, clear it did. This was taken around 10:15 Sunday Night.
I tried a redux of the Moon tonight, since it wasn't hazy. It is a slight bit better, but I think I can still do better. The moon was lower, so perhaps better to wait until it's high in the sky so the light is traveling through less atmosphere. Also, a quarter moon or so makes for a more dramatic terminator, when the craters and peaks are highlighted by the sun edge-on.
The moon (78.2%) on the 28th May 2015 at Grantown on Spey, Scotland. The 'Kicking Donkey' in full view.
In memory of John, May 2015.
First attempt at photographing the Moon. Would have been nice to have a flock of Common Scoters in front of it. Heard them flying over whilst outside.
