through the trees by summerfield

through the trees

i have "bleh" pictures for today. then i saw the moon through my kithcen window so i thought i'd go out to the back of the building to take photos. the moon's always good to me. as per my astrology sign, since i was born under the cancer sign, i am a moon child. but i don't know what that means.

there's a tree at the back and that obstructed my view of the moon. in a way it is good as now i have a different perspective. so i cropped and processed the pic in picnik. at one point i liked it inverted, as in the moon is black and everything else is white. bleh! so i settled for sepia. yeah, you couldn't tell.

i think for this month, i will take a lot of night shots as i ponder what will be my ultimate posting for my 365th day. methinks it should be something special; something that would set off fireworks. got to find my thinking cap so i can ponder better.
ooooh, love how you captured the bare branches in the moon!!!!!! Very cool, very dramatic!!

I do like the way you captured this. The tree branches add a nice effect. It is getting close to the big 365! I hope I can get a fitting shot for that.

@cscecil - thank you, CS. i'm glad you like it. dramatic, eh?

@pamfromcalgary - thank you, pam. we started at the same time so we are both reaching 365 on the same day. are you going to continue? i hope you do or your fans will be sad. i know i will be.

@summerfield If I do continue it probably will not be everyday. I'll see. It is actually quite time consuming. What are your plans?

Fantastic pic and definatlly a fav

Great shot. Good eye

Great shot and processing. Sepia works.

like the moodiness of this, very nice capture. i am still working on getting a decent moon shot.

I had tried to catch the moon last night as well, but don't have the right camera for what I'd hoped to capture. Interesting choice to put it in sepia, but it works. I'm only 21 days away from #365 and I have no clue as to what my final shot will be!

Nice ~ I like it thru the tree!
December 10th, 2011  
looks like Halloween again!! Do you have a shot of a lunar eclipse?
December 11th, 2011  
beautiful shot, love the tree branches silhouetted against la luna.
the moon not so kind to this Libra air sign, wreaks a bit of havoc with my emotions she does. grr.....

Great looking moon, girl. The branches did it . . really put the right touch on it. Nice going for a "bleh" day. :)

@pamfromcalgary - i know i want to continue, but like you, i find it time consuming. i should like to start a new album but really the only thing i learned over the last year is how to shoot straight while the car is running (or the boat). i want to be able to do more with my camera (i get photo envy whenever i see good shots) but i know i would never be able to get past my bridge and/or point and shoot cameras. but the one thing i'm sure i like to be doing and put more time on is my writing. but i can't seem to make a good combination of it and photography.

@steeler @bkbinthecity @jannkc
howard, brian, jann, thank you guys. much appreciated.
December 11th, 2011  
@catsmeowb - thank you, camille. much appreciated. moon shot, for me, is really just a hit and miss kind of thing. :-)

@olivetreeann - thank you, ann. i wanted to take on that eclipse, too, but too lazy last night to make a go of it.

@sanera - thank you, sam. glad you like it.
December 11th, 2011  
@okeanos - no, jeremy, i didn't get to see the eclipse last night; i knew there was going to be one but i wasn't motivated enough to take photos. thank you.

@danig - thank you, DG; but i thought we were perfectly compatible, mate! :-)

@karenann - thank you, kiddo. the branches sort of took out the bleh. sort of.

@summerfield - I had seen it clearly, thanks for the clear skies last night... though my cam's not powerful enough to take a shot, I used my friend's dslr to take some pictures of the moon.. hopefully, I'll upload it...
December 11th, 2011  
@summerfield we are! lol

Sue
I was also looking at the moon this night thinking that it would do for a good shot..only I didn't take my camera out...tooo cold!! You captured the moon for both of us...how sweet!
December 12th, 2011

December 13th, 2011  
i love love this! so many moon shots are just zzzzzz yawn......but i really like what you've done. My, you ARE getting close to your 365th - - i'm a couple months behind you....good luck.
December 14th, 2011  
@sticksandstones - thank you, kiddo. yes, getting there, and i can't come up with an idea for my finale!
December 14th, 2011  
gorgeous shot Summerfield :-)
December 27th, 2011  
they are alike. I think the limbs add to the shot.Think I will probably have a moon shot each month.

I looooooove moon shots! This one's dramatic and a beauty... A friend of mine who's also doing 365 took a beautiful moon shot last year (and cant get over it since then) here's the link :-)
