Tonight is the night of the Supermoon. The next one is predicted to be 14 Nov 2016. See this article here. So I dug out my old 10 lb. tripod from college, dragged it down the block along with the 10 lb. Canon camera where I could see the moon. Forgot to put the card back into the camera, dragged it all back home. Got the card, headed back but thinking I should bring the Nikon camera with me, too. After taking some pictures with the Canon I did go back and get the Nikon which has a longer lens. There's a glow along the bottom edge of the moon.
These two were taken with the Nikon D50 using a 70-300 lens. Cropped some extra space off the edge. This one I lightened a tiny, tiny smidgen. A couple of my better moon shots. Here's another link to a supermoon article with some great photos. Thanks, Lucy!
Clouds were passing rather quickly across the moon which gave an eery but fun effect. Taken with the Canon 7d, 18-135 lens.
Enough light from the moon to almost get rainbow colors in the clouds.
Our street.
Our house.

Cool Pictures!
Those are awesome pics! We got out the kid's telescope as well. They loved seeing some of the craters and valleys. We have decided a need a few better lenses though!
Def a nice lens.
Nice haiku.
Thanks! Between the moon and the street light, the house turned out rather unique.
