Hi aNNa ,

Congratulations Peter for capturing this fine image ~ it was a very bright full moon for us in CSP

All the best ~~~~ Nick

Hi Nick ,
Thank you for visiting!
I am so happy that you like the scene.
As I said in the sunset picture, I had wanted to photograph the moon in some kind of context, so I thought this windmill would work, as the moon would rise in about the right place. The previous night had been quite bright too, even though not a supermoon.
We have to try these things!!
Best Wishes, and a Good Week ahead,
Peter

My dear Peter,

What a magical moment !!
What a great frame you have captured!
A big YS!

Love Füsun

My dear Füsun,

Thank you so much for your very quick visit to this moonlight scene. Your kind comments and star make me very happy!
It was nice to share the rising of the moon with you!
It looked very red at first, then changed to a more normal colour. It was certainly very big!
Who knows what will happen with the next full Moon in May!

Love Peter

Wow ...

Hi Erhard,
Thank you very much!

Only slightly later than www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/48503112 (and looking the opposite way). this is what I had gone out to try and capture. The night before had been very similar, so that persuaded me...
I am pleased you found it interesting.

Best Wishes, and a Good Week ahead,
Peter

Wonderful night shot.

Hi Jaap
Your visit is most welcome. Thank you.
I am so happy that you like the early evening scene.
Best Wishes, and a Good Week ahead,
Peter

What a lovely shot indeed Peter .. fantastic framing for sure .. i also noted the moon the night before but have yet to look at the standard pics i took last night

Best wishes ... Steve

Thank you Steve,

Many people have noticed the very large, reddish moon in the skies over this holiday, even though it is not a supermoon. Maybe weather conditions?
I thought I would try something different for the context of this big full moon..
I look forward to seeing your pics when you post them.

Best Wishes
Peter

Beautiful Peter.

Thank you Graham,

I am glad you like it!

Peter a great shot one I would be proud of as well and rightly so well set up and very well executed. Have had too much cloud for any moon shot of later. I also want to try the 150-600 on the tracker in moon mode if I can get a chance tonight. I will keep this one .

Steve

Thank you so much Steve,

I really value your judgement on such matters, and so your kind comments make me very happy.
Many people have said that the moon looked unusually bright, maybe something to do with the freak weather conditions we had over Easter (very hot!). Over the 40 minutes since moon rise I did try a lot of different things, but the earlier ones (very low elevation) were no good, as it was too hazy. Obviously a lot brighter than the eclipse we had in January!!
I hope your cloud clears!

Best Wishes
Peter

A superb photo, the moon caught in the mill's wheels!

Thank you so much Gudrun

I am pleased that you enjoyed the idea!
I was looking for a different scenario for the moon rise, so I am happy that you think this idea worked!

Best wishes
Peter

Espectacular... una gran foto !!!

Thank you Karp

I am glad you like it!

A fine capture Peter. I also took a couple of snaps of this delightful reddish full moon just two nights ago but without your super foreground windmill of course. Love it. Full marks for getting out in the dark and taking the effort. ⭐ Well done. ~ Herb

Thank you so much Herb,

Such kind words from yourself are always much appreciated. I had seen the moon the night before (an observation others have made too), so tried to find a different place to capture it. This windmill seemed a good choice as it is quite high, and unrestricted access all round. I got there just in time for the sunset picture www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/48503112 , and then watched the moon rise , very red at first, taking pictures fro around the next hour. This was the one I liked best, and I am happy that you have appreciated it too.

Best Wishes
Peter

PS, it was still light enough to see, as I suppose it was still in 'the blue hour'.

Hi Peter, another beauty next to the windmill!!!

Best wishes, Rosa.

Thank you so much Rosa,

This was the big moon I had seen the night before, and thought might look nice with something. The idea of the windmill came very late in the day!!

I am so pleased that you like it!!

Best wishes
Peter

Brilliant lunar captured here. Brilliantly Framed within the Windmill Well done Peter Regards Tess
PS Love the Earlier capture also.

Hi Tess ,
Thank you so much for your very kind visit.

Obviously I had planned to be there for the moon rise, but didn't know exactly what I could make of it. I am so happy that you like the scene.

Best Wishes, and a good week ahead.
Peter

so great!
