Friday the 13th…and a Full Moon




Where was I? Well, probably with every other photographer trying to see what kind of shot I could get of the full moon. I stood for some time waiting for birds to fly across for the classic shot. They flew across all right, and I managed to just miss each time.

In my defense, or perhaps my excuse, I did hand hold the Canon 100 – 400mm at full 400mm. While I perfected the technique over the years for my bird photography, the lighting of a full moon made it more difficult. I shot at 1/800th of a second in hopes of getting the flying birds.

I am happy with the lighting and the detail of most of the shots I did get. Unfortunately, it is just the moon. Then again, I had fun doing it.
