One minute totally irritated...the next totally excited! Bertie just had to go out right this very minute or she was going to claw and eat the front door down. She has no respect for the fact that I was engrossed in NCIS Los Angeles or that I had zero interest in getting out of my chair and taking her out. I have to give her credit, she is a persisitent thing. We go outside...pee pee Bertie...pee pee. No pee pee. Just smelling where the rabits and squirels have played. Normally I just sit down on the back porch to wait it out, but for some reason, tonight I walked down the walk. When I turned around to go back up to the house, a beautiful full moon smiled down at me. Now night photography is something that hasn't really presented itself to me. I see wonderful photos that others take of a beautiful night sky and think it's amazing, but I've never tried it. Tonight, I decided, was the night. I fetched my tripod and zoom lens and began to shoot. How very very fun!!! It would definitely be better on a cloudless night and I need to learn to be more patient. A 30 second shutter is not my cup of tea. I also need to learn to use my remote. All in all though I have to say I am pleased. I even caught a little Jupiter going on. The moral of the story? Get out of your chair, step off the porch, smell where the rabbits play and you will be shown wonderfully fun things.

I'm impressed! I've tried shooting the moon many, many times. It's hard! I also think it would help to have a zoom lens. :)
