in Photography, Show Me... Project

Today Robert wants to see our favorite view from our homes.

I love watching the moon. I often look for it in the morning when I leave for work… It makes me happy. Wherever the moon is, that’s my favorite view, particularly when I can photograph it.

So Wednesday night I shot the moon through the trees. This is the best “shot” I got. (It is darned impossible to make a tree branch move out of your shot. Just sayin’.)

Tomorrow, we’re to show something that relaxes us…

Oh, please check out Blissfully Domestic’s photography channel. Full disclosure time: I am a contributing author for the site, which recently relaunched. My first column, which was about cropping to improve viewer’s focus, was published yesterday.

Great shot of one of my favorite things. I’ve yet to get one this good.

My moon pictures always seem to fail. It does make a beautiful view.

Great shot. reminds me of PacMan.

I love watching the moon too, especially when I am in another country and suddenly the half moon doesn’t lay horizontal but stands up vertically. In Egypt for exemple.

Wonderful capture!
I noticed last night it was so bright and big.

Those tree branches need to learn to just move a little. :)

I’m definitely checking out your column.

Moon shots can be hard… esp with trees (or in my case buildings) in the way.

Great shot though and the moon is always a wonderful view!

Love your lovely view. I used to watch the brightest planet/star out my back door, before we moved, I can’t see it anymore. :(

What a wonderful shot. There really is something very special about the moon.

What a lovely shot. Awhile back we came home when the moon was looking especially interesting, and I ran in the house, grabbed the tripod and headed out the back door. Yep, full-blown moon photo craziness. But I suspect you can relate. :D

You did a great job here. I know how difficult it is to capture a good shot of the moon. You nailed it!
