Moonlight



I should have gone to bed, but I have been sitting in the back garden trying to photograph the moon and the clouds, which are particularly beautiful tonight. Something quite relaxing about waiting for clouds to get in the right position. There really is not much you can do but sit and wait.  

Hubby is sitting indoors, but telling me I won't be able to get a good close up without a tripod. "Back seat photographers" is what I say with derision!

  1. Beautiful photographs. No backseat photgraphers needed :))

  2. Those clouds have an eerie look to them. I usually use the tripod for moon shots but I've gotten a few good ones just by balancing the camera on my backyard deck railing too.

  3. The first shot is my favorite! Yay for you. I would stay up late and ignore the back seat photographer too.
