Just Nights Before the May 2017 Full Moon
With the meteorologists predicting, unpredictable weather, I decided to shoot the moon tonight.
Normally, you have a chance to catch a full moon, three nights in a row.
The moon, will be at its fullest (100%) in the May 11 2017, 6:42AM in Naha, Okinawa, Japan.
For me, the evenings of the 9th-11th, would be the times, to catch the best photographs.
Out for a breath of fresh air, I noticed the moon in blue skies. It's nowhere near full.
Checking the Weather Channel, tomorrow night will be rainy.
So, I grabbed a camera and tripod, to play with the moon tonight. The plane was an extra.
Three images were made using the 12 second timer. I caught the flight on my last shot.
Photos may be rotated, placing the jet, centered over the moon but, I wouldn't consider that.
Too many stargazers and astronomers, would catch it and complain. Leave it natural.
Camera: Pentax K1
Lens: Pentax 300MM with 1.4 converter for Focal Length 420
