[Kelly]

No problem....hehe funny thing is I thought of you immediately when I saw that! I hope you can get some good pics for us!!! I'm certainly gonna try, but I've never been able to capture the moon the way that it looks :(

[souledoutforchrist]

Cool thanks, I'll have to check it out. I can never get good pictures of the moon though:confused:

[Psalms23]

Soooo it will be a lil bit...lets just say I took a lot...i have to look and see what one i like out of 900photos...LoL yeah I took 900 photos of the moon tonight :p

[Kelly]

Hehe wow!!!! I'm glad though because I can't even see it here! :( Guess you have to be out in the middle of nowhere to see it :(

[Psalms23]

Well I finally saw it, but it looks no different than any other full moon :p Oh well...guess I had to see it earlier when it was still low. I did get a few pics, but they don't look like much :p What settings do you use to get those pics Aaron?

I didn't see a HUGE moon. Just an ordinary one. :(

It was "huge" as it was going up then the higher it got the smaller it got...

[LauraA]

Very nice pictures. I didn't see the post until 9:30, so it was too late for me to see when it was huge. I wonder if it will be big tonight, too. I'll have to try to take a peek.

[Psalms23]

Thanks! Did anyone else see it??

Kelly...I have a professional Nikon D50 Digital SLR and I put it on "S" and opened up the shutter speed and then turned up and down the white balance...also had it on a tripod..

[souledoutforchrist]

So I totally got caught up in scrapbooking & forgot. Although I know my pictures wouldn't have been anything compared to those. Mine would have just been white dots.

[Kelly]

Ok one of these days I'm getting myself a Nikon!!!!! :p

Now we are talking!!! Going from a canon to a Nikon!!! RIGHT ON!!! HAHA :p

Scrapbooking...I am SO behind on my books. I almost don't think I'll ever catch up. I'm scrambling just to keep up with birthday cards. But someday things will slow down, won't they?! lol

I totally forgot about the moon. Did you all see it again?

[Kelly]

:p to you Aaron! :p

[Kelly]

My sister said it was pretty big again last night, but I didn't see it until it was way up in the sky so of course it was way smaller by then...oh well.

[Psalms23]

:p to you Aaron! :p

LoL hahaha

ha ha I know how you feel. I don't think I'll ever be caught up again. I used to actually run out of pictures to do, but ever since I started working I've just gotten farther behind. Now mind you I'm working on August 2007, but since then I have taken over 1,000 pictures. So it seems farther to go!

[Psalms23]

I emailed those two moon shots to the local new station and I got an email back from and this is what it reads!!!

Hi Aaron,
Thanks for the great moon picture. I will make sure to try to show it on the newscast in the future...A GREAT GREAT JOB!

Sincerely,
Mike Prangley



I thought that was pretty neat and thought I would share it!

God Bless!

That's really exciting, Aaron. I really think your photography is at a professional level! There is a gentleman on the OBs who does it, too....I can't think of his name, and I haven't seen him here on the NBs yet, but he was really good, too. I think he's more around my age...50s. (Not MarkJames). Anyway, keep sharing those awesome photos when you can!

Yeah, that's him! I saw that he's signed up here now, too. He's awesome with a camera. We've got some major talent with you all!

Too bad you couldn't be allowed to tour with Jeremy and take pictures for us all to see. ;)
