Caution...You are being MOONED!

Pompano - 2-23-2011 at 02:03 PM



A Montgomery County Circuit Court judge ruled that, while not tasteful, mooning someone in Maryland is not illegal, according to The Washington Post.



Mooning is mostly done as a joke and by catching a viewer by complete surprise. It happens in a blink of the eye. Make sure that you move away just as quickly from the site of the mooning so you do not get caught.


Before mooning, you may want to check exactly how strict the local police are on indecent exposure. There is almost always a law to that effect, however, it doesn't always, or often, cover mooning as being illegal.

Having gotten into the true spirit of this thread, Mulege police will report back as soon as they have all finished mooning their known world from their one patrol car...hey, it's damn slow in Mulege these days!


Let the Moonings begin:





























WHICH IS YOUR FAVORITE 'MOON'?

That's Moon Unit Zappa. I'm like so sure.

I am proud to ask..What the heck is a Moon Zappa?..let alone a Unit one?....and why do I even want to know?

Suddenly, I feel dated. :rolleyes:

Frank Zappa named his daughter Moon Unit, there is also a son named Dweezil.

Shooting the moon, no pun intended, is very difficult.

When shooting with a DSLR I have found that you need to be at about 125-250 shutter and a moderate to full open aperture

The moon moves faster than I thought. So then you have to balance the rest of the photo if there is any information that can be captured.

Another trick is to use the "rear" flash on your camera. This will allow you to take the photo of the moon and just before the shutter closes the flash will flash to light the area directly in front of the camera.

Actually, he had another son, Ahmet Emuukha Rodan, and another daughter, Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen. In turn, Dweezil had two daughters, Zola Frank and Ceylon Indira, Moon Unit had one daughter, Mathilda Plum, and Ahmet had one daughter, Halo Violetta. That acorn don't fall too far from the tree, apparently.

2 and 6 work for me.

Beautiful Pictures!

You are so fortunate to have that clear view in the early evening.

Out here, in the left hand coast, I am awakened by the setting full moon at 3:00 amish in the morning and am too sleepy (cough, lazy) to pick up the camera.

Many thanks, I have always enjoyed photographing the gorgeous moonrises we have in Coyote Bay. They are spectacular indeed. My attempts to capture them are inadequate, but do give me pleasure in review. Hope to see many more.

We got mooned just last month at San Simeon.

We were all watching the elephant seals at a turnoff Paulina had suggested when this car came tearing down the highway honking its horn repeatedly. I turned around just in time to see it. They had rolled down their passenger window so we could all see it better. It must have been a man's moon.

i have seen the ZPZ tour 3 times last 4 years and it is simply stunning.
Dweezil has mastered his Father's mastery!
and i am in love with Sheila Gonzalez on sax - she is like no other, even Motorhead Sherwood, a gifted savant.

She uses just Moon among her friends.
i call he Moonie like one of my former planes.

i think today will be an all ZAPPA day in my office.

great googelly moogelly.
