Supermoon

WhTen the supermoon was with us a couple of weeks ago we actually had clear moonlit nights, so I got out there with my camera, reviewed how to photograph the moon, and took a great many photos.  This is the best I got.
To be honest, I was disappointed.  I was using manual focus and going back and forth trying to get it perfect, but all my shots are slightly (or a lot) blurry.  I just need to keep on trying!

We're in Abbotsford today, checking out the town and the new house where our grandchildren now live in B.C.  Seems like a great place, and the grandkids are doing fine.  Dark heavy clouds and rain, but I'm trying to get some pix from our adventures which I'll eventually share.

  2. I got some good photos years ago when I was patient, stood in the cold night air with my tripod. I had forgotten all the settings and was too lazy this time. But then we have you to remind us!

  3. You're not far away from Bellingham. One of these days we'll have coffee together. Today's weather looks a little better than yesterday's. I like Abbotsford myself. There is a Drop Zone there that I've parachuted at. :-)

  7. Try again on any moon and bring iso down to 400 or less. That should clear it up.

  8. That's a good shot of it, we had no such luck here, it was too overcast and raining.

  10. Hey, you're not far away. Abbotsford is a nice town. They have a wonderful airshow in mid-August each year. I went there the first time on my honeymoon. The second time I returned it was with my second husband to be. Guess maybe I shouldn't go a third time (just kidding). - Margy

    Kids are so adaptable, aren't they? Enjoy!

  13. This is a super shot. My husband and I drove all over these hills where we live, trying to get good shots. I'd like to blame it on my camera, but I know it's my sucky camera skills.
    Have a great weekend!

  15. I think you did great! Sometimes the focus is really hard to get right. I struggle too:)
