Craters

It's been a while since I posted a minimalist full moon, so here is one from last week.

Now you can play "count the craters." :)

Moon over Valley

These are not my favorites, but I do like that moment when the Moon begins to resemble a giant cartoon star when you photograph it from a certain angle.

The Moon Lay Hidden

This is last night's near-full Moon viewed from the mountains before it got fully engulfed by the clouds and a day's worth of rain and even hail.

Naturally, I did the next best thing and watched the eclipse on video.

Tokyo Moon

Having finished a number of massive projects in the past few days, I was finally able to edit last month's photographs of the lunar crescent that I captured in Ueno Park.

By pure coincidence, my interview with Inoran of the legendary Luna Sea came out as well. So, today has been all about Japan's Moon (yes, I'm making an awkward "luna" pun).

Snow Moon

On Friday, I stayed up late after all.

Late enough to observe the Moon over the lake making the valley's lights that much brighter.

Just like I wanted.

"What are you doing on the balcony?"

"Watching the Moon."

"Photographing?"

"No, just watching."

The winds were so strong pushing the clouds so rapidly that this created an optical illusion of the Moon traveling through the sky, while at the same time remaining stationary.

I reluctantly went to get the camera.
