The moon 3/18

[dkvart1]

This is the moon shortly after rising... sadly I had to wait for it to clear the buildings

ahhh for an unobstructed view.... but I'm happy with the shots I got just the same!

Taken with a Nikon D5000 focal length 200mm 1/500 f/5.6 ISO 200

It's a beauty tonight.

Many broody hens will appear tomorrow. Gritsar in particular and Goldenluver should check their coops.

Wow. Thanks for the reminder.

Be right back.

Since I'm in an area boxed in, I wanted to get off some practice shots... get my settings all ready for tomorrow. Think I will head over to the coast and catch it coming up across the ocean... hoping to get some nice shots!

Thanks you all for the kind words. Baby I really have a low skill level. Got the camera a year ago for Christmas, finally got around to a course last fall and am still trying to apply and remember what to do when!

Took me several attempts at the settings to get something other than a white disc! Hopefully last nights trials will make tonights pics a little easier to get!
