Featured in the group Dimensions in January 2009

An almost perfect full moon! I have to take advantage of these when they come. Tomorrow it could be completely clouded over! I think this is as close to a full moon as I have gotten with more than a 80% chance of it being clouded over the chances of getting a completely clear full moon is next to nil!

By the light of the silvery moon
I want to spoon
To my honey I’ll croon love’s tune
Honey moon, keep a-shinin’ in June
Your silv’ry beams will bring love’s dreams
We’ll be cuddlin’ soon
By the silvery moon
Place – park, scene – dark
Silv’ry moon is shining through the trees
Cast – two, me – you
Summer kisses floating on the breeze
Act one, be done
Dialog – where would ya like to spoon?
My cue, with you
Underneath the silv’ry moon
By the light of the silvery moon
I wanna spoon
To my honey I’ll croon love’s tune
Honey moon, keep a-shinin’ in June
Your silv’ry beams will bring love’s dreams
We’ll be cuddlin’ soon by the silvery moon
Act two, Scene – new
Roses blooming all around the place
Cast – three, You – me
Preacher with a solemn-looking face
Choir sings, bell rings
Preacher: You are wed forever more
Act two, all though
Every night the same encore
By the light, not the dark but the light
Of the silvery moon, not the sun but the moon
I wanna spoon, not croon, but spoon
To my honey I’ll croon love’s tune
Honeymoon, honey moon, honey moon
Keep a-shinin’ in June
Your silv’ry beams will bring love’s dreams
We’ll be cuddlin’ soon
By the silvery moon
The silv’ry moon…

    It is so extraordinary Blair!! It is wonderfully three dimensional and the details are beautiful! It is actually an amazing optical effect. And I love how you placed it in the centre of the frame. I invite you to add this lovely image to those groups I host which you feel would be appropriate.
    How are you my friend?

  • Blair Wainman replied

    Thank you so much Sharon for your wonderful comments! I checked out a couple of groups that you moderate that I think they fit. I also missed a couple of groups that I already belong to…don’t kow why I missed them. Thank you so much for your encouragement! It means a lot to me!!

    Wow! This is fabulous, Blair! What kind of lens did you use for this? All my moon shots look like crap compared to this…

  • Blair Wainman replied

    Thank you Johanne! I have a Point & Shoot (Sony H5). I shoot it in night mode and spot metering mode, with a tripod and 10 second timer, optical zoom at maximum and then digital zoom it up a bit closer. That’s about it. I have been pretty happy with the results. What kind of camera to you use?

    this is beautiful Blair, I am hopping for tonight if it’s clear here

  • Blair Wainman replied

    Thank you Vickie!! I googled full moon calendar and found out that the full moon isn’t until tomorrow…I’m kind of hoping that it will be clear tomorrow. But if not then this will have to do. I would love to have one full moon.

    Last time I tried, I had just received my remote release shutter, and I was learning to use my new Nikon D60 with an AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f3.5-5.6G VR. I will have to try again real soon…
