Blue Hour Full Moon Shoot.  It should come up over there the group thinks.  Meanwhile, the cameras are ready and wondering where the humans went...  It's always great fun hooking up with a half-dozen friends and MHPC members to do a shoot.  The camaraderie is as fun as the photo challenge, with our without a couple of beers later.

                                                                                               While we wait for Mr. Moon to rise, I shoot the barn and outbuildings nearby and below the horizon we are monitoring.  Barns and farm animals always seem to make nice photos.

We finally get the big fella to peak over the horizon and begin to rise.  This is one of the very few shots I get that's worth saving and viewing.  Even with two DLSR's and two zoom lenses, plus shooting at a variety of camera settings, I'm humbled to discover I have to study up a bit more on this subject and come back and try harder.  Still loving digital though:  no film wasted, and the time spent was educational and fun.
