As we drove home today after school and my daughter's play rehearsal, my daughter asked if I had taken my photo of the day yet. When hearing that I hadn't, she said I had to take a picture of the moon because it looked so cool with the clouds that were passing by and/or over it.
So, we got home and I took out my camera and took some shots of the moon. It's hard to get a picture of the moon and have the clouds actually show too. I'll need to play with this some more on another day using a lower ISO and a tripod.

Fly Me To The Moon
Looking for inspiration, I headed over to The Daily Shoot and found "Today's theme is blue. Make a photograph dominated by the color or that otherwise illustrates the theme."
My first thought was to try to find someone crying or depressed and then tone the whole thing blue to illustrate a person being "blue". That's a tough one though and didn't think I could convince either of my daughters to pretend for this one. I also thought about taking a photo of our recycling trash can because the blue can is for recyclables only.
Then, I noticed how blue the sky was today and how there were just enough clouds to make it interesting and how the moon had already risen so I took some photos of the afternoon sky. On this one, there happened to be a small plane flying overhead at just the right time!

Week 32: Shooting the Moon
This week I had intended to take a picture of my oldest daughter at the first college we toured but I forgot my camera. I had happened to take some shots of the moon because some of my friends were posting moon shots so I thought I'd share one of those this week.
The longest lens I own is an old Sigma 70-300 that I had with my old 35mm Canon. It doesn't really work with my new digital SLRs. I can only shoot with it if I have the lens wide open so while I would have preferred to shoot this at about f11, I had to settle for f5.6.
