Default The moon was huge on the horizon

I was driving back to work from looking at a friend's plumbing problem during my lunch break and came around the bend on the highway and saw this and immediately pulled over...why oh why do I have to be back at work in 7 minutes??? Still, the camera fails to do justice to what the eye sees.....

DSC_7248

Made another quick stop.....jump out, shoot jump back in and drive and gawk in amazement

DSC_7254

Had to jump out yet again and get off a final shot before getting back to work....This would have been beyond awesome if this had been a red moon....

moon over the barn

I hope you weren't late back to work but if you were at least you had a great excuse, these outstanding moon captures, with these shots there is no way you could get in to trouble for being late. I like the last one best. Great job for a quick capture on the run.

I think you did a great job with these, Patrick. I especially like the third shot. Something about its composition that draws me to it. It could be the tree on the left acting as a frame, or the fence below the building leading me into it. Nicely done.

Awesome moon captures Patrick!! we have a similar one here in NZ now and then as big as this one is, but not very often thanks for sharing, love the last shot with the barn, the moon really stands out against the barn in that one cheers Steve.
