Killer photos Russ!

The moon... so close and yet so far... when it is so big and you look at it, it feels more like it looks at you back.... and you can stare at it, peacefully, unintimidated and relaxed. She'll be out, bigger tonight... dress up... make her smile.... make her laugh.

Nice. I never can find "The man on the moon", but "The squirrel" always pops right up.

Hate to see you guys leave, but, I guess, those full moons in Mulege are worth it.:biggrin:

It looked real nice last night here in San Diego....but it would have looked a whole lot better in Baja!

Killer shots Russ, what did you use for the close up?

Russ - 8-6-2009 at 08:27 PM

I'm waiting for tonights moon rise with my 500mm lens. Last night I used a 55-200mm zoom and blew it up and enhanced it a bit.

Russ - 8-6-2009 at 08:35 PM

The Full Moon was a no show here tonight. Too cloudy

Silly! I meant the moon. If I can't live on that moon I'll just stay in Loreto.

Russ - 8-7-2009 at 05:27 AM

Paula, Go thru the condo gauntlet at the airport. I'm sure someone will promise a flight leaving Loreto for the moon if ya just site through their presentation.:lol:

Russ, Thanks. Makes me want to howl!!!:)

Howl Away!

Fantastic moon photo, Russ. Always inspiring...as this author proves in his poem:


The moon has a face like the clock in the hall;
She shines on thieves on the garden wall,
On streets and fields and harbour quays,
And birdies asleep in the forks of the trees.

The squalling cat and the squeaking mouse,
The howling dog by the door of the house,
The bat that lies in bed at noon,
All love to be out by the light of the moon.

But all of the things that belong to the day,
Cuddle to sleep to be out of her way;
And flowers and children close their eyes
Till up in the morning the sun shall arise.

"THE MOON"....Robert Louis Stevenson

Guys see squirrels, gals see little bunnies. Remember we are from Mars, they are from Venus, LOL!

Speaking of Mars

This would be cool to get a picture of from the beach, can you do it? I can't see the moon from where I am at currently (too much sun) so I have enjoyed your pictures immensely.

Keep up the good "work".:biggrin:

Some really beautiful panoramic moon shots!

Heres my closeup view of "part of the bunny" taken telescopically

Akmaxx: this is a oft circulated Mars internet hoax, check out the link:

Ooops. Duped.

akmaxx - 8-9-2009 at 02:41 PM

Still, would look better from a warm beach than here, sigh.

Thanks astro.

McNulty - 8-10-2009 at 10:24 AM

Akmaxx,
I got the same thing emailed to me... and fell for it for quiet some time till someone brought it to my attention that it was actually a hoax... o well.
