Evening and Night

We took an evening walk …

… and returned late enough to see the almost half-moon rising above the mountains. Since I used my cell to take the picture, the moon’s edges aren’t very defined, but I like the photo despite that drawback, especially the sky’s blue tint.

Happy Wednesday.

  5. Looks like a nice evening outing. We are getting Benji out for sunset walks, but they are so early these days and about to get earlier with return to Standard Time. Happy Wednesday. Allan

    1. Thank you very much. It was lovely, Allan. We had a low of zero last night but the evening temperatures have been very comfortable. Yes, we’re about to do our change soon. I am one of those people who thinks that we should stay on standard time year-round.

    1. Thanks, Bernie. Cell phones have surprisingly good cameras that are perfectly fine for many situations, but agreed, they really fail with night shots. I don’t usually carry my camera at night unless I am specifically planning to do night photos, so the best I had along was the cell. I liked the way the moon was shining on the water. Cheers.

  10. Nice shots. I also love how the glow of the moon leaves that bright spot on the water.

    I tried to take photos of the Hunter’s moon last week with my good camera, but I couldn’t get it to define the moon. I don’t know what I was doing wrong. It just looked like a blurry glowing ball and not the moon. 🤷‍♀️

    1. Hi Lori, thank you very much. 😊 The light on the water is so pretty.

      Often the issue with moon pictures is the shutter speed. My picture also shows a blurry glowing ball and that’s because iphone cameras don’t have shutter speed adjustments. Although the moon looks stationary to us on the ground, it’s actually moving along at a good clip, so I would say 1/15 or more should work (even up to 1/250). You could try an aperture of f/11 or f/16. If you have a clear night you could experiment a bit since there’s a half-moon right now. Good luck!
