Minimal Moon by olivetreeann

Minimal Moon

What I do when I wake up at 2 AM and can't sleep. I'm just glad none of the neighbors were out and about to see me with my tripod and camera taking shots of the moon in my winter coat, pajamas and hubby's boots!
great shot! I'm going out tonight as soon as it moves in view from behind the neighbors' homes. It's much warmer here though ~ you're a trouper :)

I'm very envious of all those of you who can take a moon capture. this is really beautiful. Great capture.
February 4th, 2015  
Super shot, you are braver than me when it comes to the weather.
February 4th, 2015  
Beautiful! I took a few shots tonight as the moon was rising, but for some reason the moon looked really distorted.
February 4th, 2015  
Wow -- GREAT job, Ann! The craters and the dark shadows look terrific!
February 4th, 2015  
Beautiful
February 4th, 2015  
ahhhh no more to say!
February 4th, 2015  
Verrrry nice.
February 4th, 2015  
Extraordinary detail and great light. Funny, I was awake until two and then went to sleep.

Wonderful moon shot
February 4th, 2015  
Lovely Moon capture - whatever you were wearing :)
February 4th, 2015  
Terrific shot of the moon! Hope you got back to bed with a hot drink and slept well! A selfie would have been good, whilst you had the tripod out....
February 4th, 2015  
It was well worth waking up that early and not going back to sleep, great capture
February 4th, 2015  
Love the mon shot
February 4th, 2015  
Great shot and love itin B&W.

holey moley!

Glorious moon shot! Perhaps you were awaken by the brightness of the moon. It's like someone left the light on outside.

Thanks for the thoughtful comment shared on my "Winter Farm" image. Appreciate the visit. And thanks again for organizing this B&W theme.

What a great moon shot
February 4th, 2015  
What a great moon shot. Mine are always end up in the rubbish bin!
February 4th, 2015  
Fav! Wow! This is fabulous!! I cannot imagine me getting up at 2AM struggling with photo equipment, etc. in freezing weather..... so I admire you tremendously, and the results certainly compensated for all you went through.
February 4th, 2015  
LOL I was going to do the same thing but at minus 30 C I decided to pour a cup of tea instead. It was a beautiful moon though and you have captured it perfectly here.
February 4th, 2015  
Fabulous shot!
February 4th, 2015  
Stunning! Probably the best capture of the moon I've ever seen :) I love how it looks almost metallic in texture.
February 4th, 2015  
Fabulous capture!

The moon was so beautiful last night! This is an amazing shot! Wonderful shape. A lot of moon shots look flat. This moon looks round! Excellent!
February 4th, 2015  
I like the way it shimmers, fabulous image. The image I have of you in my mind wearing winter coat, pyjamas and hubby's boots makes me smile.
February 4th, 2015  
Great moon capture
February 4th, 2015  
Wonderfully detailed! Nice work!
February 4th, 2015  
It was worth it! Beautiful!
February 4th, 2015  
this is a gorgeous capture!! love that you went out on your hubbies boots ;)
February 4th, 2015  
That would be something I would be prepared to pay for - especially if I had my own camera at hand. You must have a lot of guts to do that. But in the end it was quite worth it - the shot is superb and the detail also. At 2.00am the only thing I can do is dream about the moon.
February 4th, 2015  
Wow, what amazing details! It was definitely worth the cold and risking the neighbours seeing you for
February 4th, 2015  
Stunting fav. capture of the moon. Worth the trouble ( ( and the neighbour talks)
February 4th, 2015  
Beautifully captured.
February 4th, 2015  
Well done
February 4th, 2015  
A fellow pj photo taker. I do that all the time and get teased by my friends. I new we had a lot in common. Great results. (The plow man came when I was in bed with my flannel pj on so I got up put my boots and coat on. Went out to move the car.)

February 5th, 2015  
@radiogirl Thank you Kathy and thank you so much for the fav! When I first started here on 365 I'd see moon shots and wish I could take one. I was finally able to upgrade my point and shoot last year and now I can say at least one dream has come true!
February 5th, 2015  
Beautiful full moon shot. A fav
February 5th, 2015

Bev
@olivetreeann You're welcome! :) I think your photo is the only one I commented on. I was just browsing to see if the Waxwings were still there and saw yours and had to comment! :) I am in agony. I should be in bed resting but I want to catch up on some photos before I go to bed.
February 6th, 2015
