We were out walking a couple of evening ago and our wonderful daughter-in-law and her two children, a son and a daughter, came by. They are very cute kids and we are glad to have them in the family. It was just after sunset and of course, we had to talk awhile. By the time we headed back to the house, it was getting dark and I noticed that there was a moon almost directly overhead. I went in and got my camera and came back out to "shoot the moon". The pictures didn't come out as good as I would have wanted them too, but by golly, I bet it was good enough to know that it was the moon. Here are the two pictures:
This first picture was taken without zooming in. If you look real close, there is a moon just above the second tree from the right. Don't forget, you can always pick on a picture to enlarge it.
This last picture is taken with the camera zoomed in. My camera does not zoom very much, so this is as good as I can get:
OK, that is all for today. Hope you all will have a good day, you hear?
Pretty good shot with the zoom. I had the guy doing a computer to computer check on the problem with my not being able to transfer pictures from the camera and he could figure it out and said it is a Windows 10 issue. I may have to get some other program now.
ReplyDeleteI got Windows 10 on this laptop and so far, so good. Knock on wood.
DeleteI love looking at the moon and of course the stars. I could spend hours just gazing up at the night sky. Thanks for sharing your pictures.
ReplyDeleteThat is why I have a few telescopes. My biggest one has a sixteen inch diameter mirror in it. I need to get a camera that will attach to the eye piece of it. With the big scope I can see rock piles in the center of the creators.
DeleteIt's been so cloudy here I don't think we've seen the moon or stars for at least a week now. But then... we haven't seen the sun either :-(
ReplyDeleteYou must have sent that weather here to me, cause the yesterday and today has been cloudy and drizzling rain.
DeleteNice moon shots for the point and shoot.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Go to one of my old blogs:

And I kept enlarging a picture I took of the moon and you can see the a loot more of the creators.
I love moon pictures.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason a full moon always reminds me of Terlingua.
Terlingua did have some really clear skies and the moon could be really bright. The few times that I was there, I really enjoyed the area and the venison burgers at the Starlight.
