Super Moon by rob257

Super Moon

O.K. So what does this Florida bug have to do with the super moon?
Simple:
I found a nice sight that might be helpful if you'll be attempting to "shoot the moon" tonight. I may get rained out of this one. Happy Trails to you!

Fantastic bug photo! No super moon viewing for us either unless the rainy clouds decide to depart in the next few hours.

Thanks for the kind words. We're "far flung" enough that some of us will have to get some action tonight with the super moon. Good luck.

Cool bug and capture.

Beautiful capture, Rob. Love the clarity and the colors of this little guy! I might try for that moon ... have never been lucky with a moon shot yet. And we don't know about cloud cover here yet either. It's a fifty-fifty chance.

Thanks, all. And, by the way, if anyone knows what the heck it is, please let me know! ;-)

No idea what it is, but you captured it wonderfully! Did you get any moon shots?

Sorry, but I have no idea what it is. Moon shots were diappointing. We had clear skies, but despite a tripod and remote release, I didn't get any good captures. Exposure was good, but clarity was not. I'm beginning to question whether I'm just asking too much of a 28-300 lens, if the quality (Tamron) of my lens is suspect, some other technique of mine that I haven't identified yet, or if my sensor may not be as good as I had hoped. Time will tell. How about you? Moon shots?

@rob257 Too bad. Hope it's not your lens, but some other easy fix. No moon shots for me, was at a singing competition all weekend. Maybe tonight.

Excellent close up shot. It is a strange looking critter.

Guess if I'm going to shooting these 6 legged critters, I better start learning to identify them, eh? And to think that my dad was an entomologist!

@rob257 That's funny Rob! Maybe one of those teenage rebellions...whatever my Dad does, I'm not interested!
May 7th, 2012  
Love the capture ... let me know if it is identified

Might take a while. Most of my books are "birds" but I'm curious too. Will let you know.
