Chasing the June Full Moon

3 Favorite Images


helicopter, military,moon, Okinawa, Japan


When the weather cooperates three days can be spent doing moon photography.

Sometimes rain or clouds will ruin an evening shoot so, it's best to shoot every chance you get.

This military helicopter passed in front of the rising moon on June 27th at 7:05 PM.

The pilot should contact me if, he or she wants a print of this photo.

Scientists claim the full moon has no effect on the behavior of humans or animals.

Well, I think they are all crazy. 

When the full moon is scheduled, my wife goes crazy trying to figure out if, I'll ever come home.

This is a photo of the moon setting in the west at 4:52 AM on June 28th.

In this photo, the moon is setting above Ishikawa, Uruma, Okinawa, Japan.

It was 5:21 AM on June 28, 2018, and, would be my last shot before heading home.

When I got home the wife told me she had woken at 4 AM and was worried.

It seems like the dog and her husband had been missing and, left the front door open.

The scientists, who want to learn about lunar effects, should come and talk to me!

Usually, I go and research things photographed, after a day of shooting.

This bird looks similar, to some, I've been hauled around in but, I can't name it.

So, we'll leave that part up to the aerial stuff experts.

Busy, packing bags for a trip to Zamami Island, I'll be going offline, for awhile. 

If, there's no blog post tomorrow, it just means, I'm having too much fun.

Er, I forgot to put a laptop in my backpack !
