Tonight was spent creeping about in the woods trying to capture some pictures of the moon in such a clear blue sky before the night came in. It might appear a bit weird but if you want to capture the moon in all it's glory, you need to find a suitable place preferably high up on a hill or similar and if at all possible, away from any street lighting etc.
As you go through these few pictures, you will see the changes and colouration created by the night sky as the moon moves across the night sky.
I have to confess to a little filter on this picture to enhance the skyline but in truth, the end result was probably not worth it. Below is a close up of the moon by using a zoom lens but it is difficult to control especially as the wind was blowing on the top of the hill I was possitioned upon.
I have to be grateful for the clear skies this week with a hint of blue while the moon appears slowly from over the horizon. You need a tripod if you are going to take good images of anything in the sky as your body wish detect any shaking or movement and distort the final image.
