Waning Gibbous 99.6 Percent
This is about as round as I've seen it get during the month of August this year.
The local moon phases calendar, says the moon was full at 03:10 this morning.
As I was walking the dog home, from buying my coffee, I saw the moon setting.
About 5 AM and the skies were hazy but, it looked like the moon was going to hit the highway.
Tonight, I climbed up on the roof and was waiting for moonrise at 7:30 PM.
It appeared shortly after I set the camera up, surrounded by fast moving black clouds.
There were 60 photos in the camera, when I stopped shooting and downloaded.
Tonight, I'll just post this one and, another on my Facebook Page, Ryukyu Life.
The remaining images, I may use to create a slideshow, showing the moving clouds.
All photos were taken, using a tripod and the camera timer at 2 or, 12 seconds.
Various exposure settings were used, depending on the brightness of the moon.
For this image, here's the camera specs:
Camera: Pentax K1
Lens: Sigma 50-500 with 1.4 converter Focal Length 700 MM
Exposure: f/22 1/5 sec ISO 100
Location: Kin Town Okinawa Japan
Date and Time: AUG 8 2017 8:06 PM
NOTE: AUG 22 2017 there will be a Black Moon over Okinawa at 03:30.
Do you think, I should climb up on the roof, to shoot it while it's in a black sky ?
