As you might have guessed from past posts, I have a mild obsession with photographing the (near) full moon rise. I try to get out a day or two before each full moon and photograph the moon rising over the landscape. Around the full moon, the moon rises near enough sunset that you can photograph…
The full moon today (Saturday the 20th) is supposed to be a ‘super full moon‘ where the full moons occurs when the moon is closest to the Earth (perigee). The moon will be somewhere around 14% larger than normal. I went out Friday evening to try and photograph the moon rise a day early. Why…
Last Thursday I took advantage of the warm weather (temps in the 70’s!) to go out and photograph the moonrise. One of the things I try not to miss each month is a chance to photograph the moon rising. One to two days before the actual full moon is a good time to do some…
Last week I took the opportunity to drive up to the north end of Tuttle Creek Lake with a friend. On the way back home we stopped at the Oldsburg Marsh area to get some photographs of the sunset. I was able to get down to the shoreline and catch the sunset reflecting off the…
I’ve been going through my photographs from this past year searching for my favorites and I’ve learned a lot about my photographic habits (both good and bad) while doing this. I’ve also found some interesting series of images that got me thinking (again) about the value of photographing close to home. I’ve written about it…
Earlier this week I was out to photograph the moonrise (which was the “harvest moon” on the 23rd). I headed out to Wildflower Road near the Carnahan Creek area which is a great spot to photograph the moonrise. While waiting for the moon to show up I did a bit of scouting and I was…
I hate to admit this, but I live and die by my Outlook Calendar. If it’s not in my Outlook calendar, I won’t remember it. You should have seen me when I found out I could sync my Outlook Calendar between home and work computers and my phone… I was positively giddy (yes, giddy). One…
I was out recently to photograph the full moon. I can never get enough of seeing the moon rise slowly over the horizon (although when you are trying to photograph it, it doesn’t always seem to be moving so slowly!). I’m not sure why, but I’m always fascinated by the seeing the moon appear in…
I was out this week the day before the full moon to try and get some shots of the moonrise. I had used The Photographers Ephemeris to scout for possible locations and found an old schoolhouse that I thought I was going to able to get the moon rising over. But like most plans, it…
Earlier this spring I decided that I was going to head out to the ‘Broken Arrow’ section of Tuttle Creek Lake and do some photography along the shoreline there. This section of Tuttle has some nice sand beaches, which is unusual for Tuttle (the shoreline is normally rocky). The last time I was in this…
