goodnight moon.....

i photographed a large part of my day
yesterday
just in black and white
~
kind of like a documentary
that included a teenage son
who wasn't always amused that the camera was in his face
~
i'll share more of my "monochrome" day later this week
::
they said the moon last night
was the closet it's been to us in many years
~
funny
it looked exactly the same to me
~
after the instructions in my photography class
went right over my head
~
my timing for the evening was a bit off
since we were out having a wonderful dinner
so
i didn't shoot this photo until about 9:30
~
i think it's pretty amazing
*
did you see the moon the last night
did you shoot it
too

    Yes I did and after seeing several around blogland this morning, I did a post too. Yours is lovely! I think the best one I've seen is Kate at Chronicles of a Country Girl. :)

    I sure did. If the moon looked the same to you, you weren't out there early enough to see it rise.. that was amazing. Later in the night it was brighter than usual but pretty much the same size as always. Wonderful shot, Beth. I had too many obstructions for the most part but they turned out to be interesting shots in themselves.

    Sorry you can't post a comment on my blog?! I don't get it!!! You're even on Blogger too - not like you're a Wordpresser... I allow for Open ID comment leaving so besides going all the way to anonymous, I'm not sure what else to do! SORRY!

    Love your "moonochrome" shot! I was lucky enough to see it last night, but would never dare a photograph. Leave that to you and Hilary and a few others...

    Happy Spring!

    That shot is absolutely amazing and I think it's a "thing" with teenage boys (had one myself) to not have a camera pointed in their general direction - especially if the photographer is mom. :)

    Wow, can I relate! I tried so many settings to get that moon I was driving myself crazy! :-)

    I couldn't see the moon as it rose because too many trees were in the way, but when it got high in the sky it didn't appear any larger than usual. So no........ I didn't shoot it. I've seen incredible shots from others and they mostly seem to be shot shortly after moon rise.

    Your moon photo is gorgeous, as is that teenage son of yours. He looks so much like you. Bet you haven't heard that before, have ya'?!

    I shot it too and it looks just like yours ! Shot my favorite at 11:30 pm. Then I went to bed. And you know, I thought it looked much the same as it always looks. Very bright, though.

    It was a fuzzy bright moon
    tucked away behind thick clouds
    here.
    But the eerie glow
    was otherworldly
    beautiful.
    Handsome guy, that.

    We stepped outside to see it and thought it was fabulously large! Didn't photograph it though.... thought I would let everyone who is better at it than I snap the photos. You did a super moon shot!

    i did. i saw it rise over the mighty mississippi and had the most lovely moonlit walk along the riverside. it was magical. and no i didnt know that the moon was the closest to us for a long while. that makes it even more special.

    I love the photo of your son. Re the moon, I thought the moon last month was larger, but that's not what they said. It was beautiful. I didn't try to photograph it... I have enjoyed seeing what everyone else has done!

    I had planned to, but storm clouds hid it from sight. :( Your shot is awesome.

    No, I didn't get the chance to shoot the Moon last night because a rain storm blew through with 40mph winds! There was so much cloud cover that I also missed my chance to even just see and appreciate our corpulently rotund spherical neighbor in all it's LARGE glory! I thank you for sharing yours___=^..^=___Kittie

    I saw the moon , but didn't attempt any photos.. knew all my favourite bloggers who know what they are doing would pull through! :)

    easier to take photos of strangers than our sons...

    Gorgeous shot of the moon. I recognize that look on your adorable son's face. Was he saying something like, "enough already?" I can't imagine why they don't want us in their faces with the camera...

    Saw it just as I was getting into bed. Didn't seem that big at that time, but others here took fabulous photos. Maybe it had to grow a little! We were early sleepers on Saturday!

    I did, although I have no clue about night photography. Mine will be at vision and verb tomorrow. I actually thought it looked better a few nights before, it had a cool halo effect around it, oh well. But I love how from all these different places, we were all out there taking pictures of the same thing.
