Description
yesterday the moon was the closest to earth since 1993 and luckily there were only minor clouds.Yesterday I went to the Altus, Oklahoma area and to Quartz Mountain park. I got up yesterday at 3:45 am and left my house at 4:30 am and drove there and arrived home about 6:30.I had no intentions of doing anything except relax.then---- I seen where I wrote myself a note about the moon.so dug out my lens plus a 2x convertor and tripod.here is one of the resulting captures.
thanks for baying at the moon if you like and all comments. obviously I was unable to do the galleries yesterday

Fantastic capture and motif, Richard. Very cool moon portraying. Took some kinda planning and work, for this amazing shot. I think it was worth it.

I try to take that moon-white but still supposed to be like yours lol. But hey who does not try to have nothing lol. When she got out her color was orange lol,, ((5 + +)) J'ai essayer de prendre cette lune mais toujour d'une blancheur supposée d'être comme la tienne lol. Mais bon qui n'essaie pas n'as rien lol. Quand elle est sortie sa couleur était d'un orange lol,,((5++))
