I thought the Queen connection might be a strange bit of fun.<br />-<br /><br />@PJ<br />I love the Moon too, and partly because it makes people so wacky.<br />-<br /><br />@Bemused<br />I guess it makes sense that the angle changes the farther south we are. It's hard for someone like me in the northern hemisphere to imagine.<br />-<br /><br />@Icy BC<br />The book? That's easy. It's the new addition to Robert Jordan's Wheel Of Time Series, called The Gathering Storm. Maybe I'll have to give a mention in a post.<br />-<br /><br />@Rainfield<br />Yup, the book I'm reading can definitely help me to be more creative. It should give me a few more ideas.<br />-<br /><br />@Cher<br />Thanks for both!<br />-<br /><br />@Jen<br />I'm glad I could finally share that C-3P0 stuff with someone. <br />I wish I could have captured the whole halo. My camera just couldn't zoom out far enough, and I didn't have my wide-angle lense with me.<br />-<br /><br />@John<br />I guess manual mode is what is important for getting these pictures. I wish it was easier.<br /><br />I've never seen a moon halo before this, and I've never seen the other stuff yet either.<br />-<br /><br />@Poetic Shutterbug<br />I hope moon shots will be easy for you now. I'm glad I finally decided to find out how to do it.<br />-<br /><br />@Ann<br />The photography site looks like an excellent place for lots of good tips and tricks.<br />-<br /><br />@Allotments4you<br />The link I gave you for the moon pictures is perfect for you. It's a blog with tips for novice photographers.<br />-<br /><br />@Emm<br />As long as you have a manual mode on your camera it will be easy.<br />-<br /><br />@Sharkbytes<br />You'll figure it out. The tips on that site I linked to are excellent, and they're for all of us who are new to digital photography.<br />-<br /><br />@Ginnymo<br />Thank you. I appreciate it.<br />-<br /><br />@Roschelle<br />I've heard this before from people who work at hospitals. I hope everyone else sees your comment too. Maybe people should all try to remember to stay calm when they see a full moon. :)<br />-<br /><br />@Julia<br />My breaks, and my sanity, seem to be failing me lately. Just kidding. I wish my camera would have enabled me to capture the whole halo, it was just so huge.<br /><br />Maybe there is a bunny. I'll bet that's what dug all of those holes. :D<br />-<br /><br />@SquirrelQueen<br />You're right, Queen without Freddie, who is maybe the best singer ever, is just not the same, but I'll take what I can get now.<br />-<br /><br />@Bisnis<br />Thanks!<br />-<br /><br />@Free Recipes<br />Who knows? Maybe one day we'll find a strange form of life even on the moon.<br />-<br /><br />@Blackberry<br />The moon is always beautiful.<br />-<br /><br />@The Retired One<br />Your camera is the kind I want. I also want to catch a moon bow. I'll have to make sure my wide angle lense is with me next time.Rick (Ratty)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04062449024949497557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-34976079253145057662009-11-05T15:48:03.818-06:002009-11-05T15:48:03.818-06:00I am lucky with the camera I have...I put it on au...I am lucky with the camera I have...I put it on automatic focus, zoom in with my 18X point and shoot telescopic lens, and viola, I have a pretty decent picture of the moon!~ "-) but I sure would like to catch a moon bow like the article showed..that would be awesome.The Retired Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466803019073952351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-3077098601533926282009-11-05T09:39:29.946-06:002009-11-05T09:39:29.946-06:00beautiful moon. i saw the moon when the sky is cle...beautiful moon. i saw the moon when the sky is clean and no cloudblackberry applicationhttp://wirelessphonecell.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-65032384837414450902009-11-05T09:32:58.016-06:002009-11-05T09:32:58.016-06:00misterious moon,

Little piece of trivia. The word lunatic is derived from the word lunar=moon. It's really true that the tide, births and "crazy" behavior are worse or at least higher in frequency when the moon is full. I hate seeing a full moon...especially if I'm scheduled to work!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02577780679140276988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-73748282058719340242009-11-04T20:51:47.889-06:002009-11-04T20:51:47.889-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02577780679140276988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-67026818916546608642009-11-04T20:09:46.324-06:002009-11-04T20:09:46.324-06:00Great shots of the moon Ratty!!Great shots of the moon Ratty!!Ginnymohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08865222893888430709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-52232426681214470212009-11-04T14:34:13.325-06:002009-11-04T14:34:13.325-06:00Great moon landing!

I LOVE StarWars so I shall tuck this little tid-bit of trivia away for a rainy day :)<br />When we lived with my husband's parents out in the sticks, we would see a huge halo around the moon some nights. I've always wanted to capture it on film.

I once saw the halo around the moon when I was living in Mexico- it really was amazing, it was the first and only time I have seen this. Also, I was shocked to see that the crescent moon in Mexico was like a smile- I was so surprised as here it is a vertical crescent shape. I loved the photos you took. The moon is great :)bemused26https://www.blogger.com/profile/03288651410815126420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-1051182084994804252009-11-04T07:47:48.864-06:002009-11-04T07:47:48.864-06:00i love the moon even though she has a way of makin...i love the moon even though she has a way of making people wacky when she is complete. great photos and info ratty. have a wonderful day...hugz!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592036311912962601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-59994093614572180072009-11-04T04:58:15.452-06:002009-11-04T04:58:15.452-06:00Cool pictures.
