Blue Moon.

Once in a blue moon there is a really good bit of news.

Today, after months of hard work the 'First Touch' charity garden that I was photographing yesterday at Chelsea Flower Show ( http://365project.org/emmadurnford/365/2013-05-20) won a GOLD medal. This is fantastic, Patrick Collins the designer is now a 4-time gold medal winner at Chelsea.

Congratulations to Patrick, Sarah his wife and also the charity director and everyone at the charity and in St George's hospital neonatal unit. Have at look at @nicolaeastwood album for the evidence! http://365project.org/nicolaeastwood/365/2013-05-21

(Best viewed large for crater detail - not great but better than my last attempt!)

We saw in NZ, the first photos from the Chelsea which included a lot of photographers! You might have been in one! Amazing big moon- I'll have to examine your Exif!

@maggiemae I had a long blue top over a flowered (of course) tunic top!! The Exif does not show that I used my 70-200mm f/2.8 with a x2 extender, handheld (wedged against the window frame for stability!) :-)

Fantastic. Sounds as if you worked hard to get this. Love how you connected this to the news about the flower show - a super aspect on how to use photos to tell a story or hightlight one.

@pam1 Thanks Pam, I was a bit pushed for ideas when I noticed it was a clear evening and I just thought 'blue moon'!! It ties in well with events. It could still be better as I have seen some amazing images on 365 of the moon with so much detail. I need to study their Exif info for tips!!
