next weekend - saturday the 19th March will be the largest and brightest full moon for a while if anyone wants to practise their moon photography :D

[Deborah DeJong]

Awesome! Thanks for the heads-up! Now I'll have to start praying for clear skies for a change!

[Carly]

@dejongdd me too fingers crossed theres no clouds :D

[andy c]

well, it's been clear skies for the last week - bound to be cloudy next week then :-(

[Carly]

@andycoleborn thats true the laws of chaos do rule ;D

[Genesis Lomax]

i read about this last week, and my inital thought was "i hope the skies are clear so i can shoot it!"

[Kirsty McLaughlan]

woohoo, I will need reminded of this nearer the time though but definitely want to give it a go

[ShadowDancer]

That sounds great! I hope we'll have a clear sky this time. Last month the full moon was totally veiled... :-(

[Steven Burbidge]

Precise full moon is at 18.10 (UK time), remember a full moon always rises on the horizon at dusk - and looks much bigger as it first appears, so shoot it as early as you can. :-)

[Alex Dowding]

@cazink @andycoleborn more like Sod's Law. I'll have to try and get a few shots myself that night. Ta for the heads up

[Charli]

@cazink Hee Hee I was just reading about this! Thanks for sharing!
@sburbidge Thanks for the heads up, will have to leave work on time for once then!!!

[Carly]

@charli321 you're welcome :)

[Tammy K. Allen]

Thanks for sharing! That happens to be my birthday, what a lovely birthday present it would be to have clear skies to photograph it!

[☮Lee Gordon☮]

sweet :) and the direction of the moon rise for me should be directly over the sea, just got to hope for clear skies now

[Laura]

Thanks for the notice! I've tried a few times but all failed attempts...

[ACRaszman]

Thanks! I've been wanting to try this for a while now but I only have a point and shoot. Not much zoom.

[Missy]

@kynosmom

Same here :-( I was so hoping to capture that last moon, but it lapsed way below expectation.

[Tricia]

thanks for the notice really want to get a moon, but I never ready when it is

[Anna Ruth]

awesome! thanks for the info. I have always wanted to get a shot of the moon but have never been able to... I am usually in a moving vehicle when I try... silly me.

[Lisa Cooper]

Cool, as I now have a tripod, remote shutter & a longer lens (all though maybe not long enough to get a really good shot!), but I have tried so many times to get a moon shot as I do have a bit of a love affair with it!

[3nder]

Sweetness! Cant wait to shoot this

[Sheila M Chin]

Thanks Carly and I hope I get a chance to get another somewhat like this:
