Jan 2012 - (Full) Moon Images

[Miguel Bravo-Escos]

I love photographing the moon. A few of the people I follow posted some great shots of the 1st full moon of 2012.

I am sure there are more cool images posted out there that were not tagged and I love to see them.

So show me your current moon shots!

Here is mine -

Actually... I've uploaded two because of the moon ;-)
The first because of the great tree-silhouette it produced

And the second because I was trying to improve my moon-shots with my super-zoom P&S

[Paula x2 Brumbe]

I went without the full moon to give a different level of interest

Great shots!!

Paula - I agree, the full moon can be a bit 'flat' a t times and the other phases offer both new challenges (due to lighting) but some pretty cool results!

Julie - I love how you caught the plane shadow ... great timing!!
Do you use PS at all? I am thinking the image would benefit from making the moon a tad brighter ... what do you think?

[Miguel Bravo-Escos]

@maggie2 - lovely image. How did you manage to get the sky that clear?

captured with my fisheye

[Cherrill]

@elke I use a P&S all the time. What super zoom one have you got to get such a fabulous photo?

[joseph levy]

[Elke W.]

@Cherrill Haha it's just a Fuijfilm Finepix S4000 ...30x Optical zoom, 2x stabilization, but I did use my trusty old tripod for these and manual settings.

[Cavemonster]

Wish I had a zoom lens - I love some of these shots!

[Cherrill]

@elke Thanks.....I think a better zoom might be something that would tempt me away from my trusty servant..:-)

[Miguel Bravo-Escos]

@jojo2009 - great image, the moon is so crisp and the cloud colours definitely add to the overall feel - very cool!!

[e.gad]

I titled this "Screw you clouds" because when I went out the other night to shoot the full moon, it was covered in clouds. Sorry for the interruption...still not over it. You all may return to posting your gorgeous moon shots!

[Miguel Bravo-Escos]

@egad - ha ha ha ... love it and I sympathise!!

I had to wait for 4 days 'til the cloud cover went away ... ended up doing light painting shots while swearing at the clouds loudly.

This photograph made me smile - love it - THANK YOU!!

[Miguel Bravo-Escos]

@cavemonster - your shot portrays the mysterious side of the moon ... love the natural vignetting you managed to catch. Very nice!

[Miguel Bravo-Escos]

@wahyusp - that's a pretty interesting perspective ... the fish-eye effect around the centered moon works pretty well.

[Graham Trueman]

This is my atempt

[๏̯͡⊙ Shelly]

Here is mine - I wasn't happy with the moon shot, so I made an attempt at a creative edit. Then I didn't like the edit. I don't know why I show this to people. ;)

[Dieter Tracey]

[Sara Byrne]

Here is mine!

[Charli]

@beautifulthing you make me laugh! nice nails btw!

[bmnorthernlight]

@sixthblade great thread! thanks for starting it! so many awesome moon shots! It was a spectacular full moon this month :-)

here's my version

[Katie]

Here was my recent full moon take!

[Suzan Macco]

I love trying to capture the moon! I won't quit til I get a good one with the craters evident! :) Until then, here's mine...

[Margaret Tryon]

@sixthblade It was just before dark and this is how it came out. I took it with a point and shoot and only darken the tree a bit.

[Miguel Bravo-Escos]

@samdan @mrgtrueman @beautifulthing @dieter @sbb1980 @bmnorthernlight @archaeofrog @mercynursey -- thanks for posting!

These are truly gorgeous shots of the moon. Loving how people get creative with clouds, silhouettes, blending pics, using effects, etc.

I am really enjoying see everyone's different point of view/creativity on a common subject.

Thank y'all for sharing your photographs with me!!

My moonshot..

[Stacy ♥ DOF]

I missed the full moon due to some storms, but here is tonight's moon from Dallas, Texas. :) (My timestamp is off by 1 hour somehow, this was taken at 00:08.

Twas too cloudy this month, but I did get one last month -
