Hi Peter,
When you're creeping around a churchyard at night,
you never know what you might see! ;-)
A superb shot you have captured again!!
I tried to get one of the moon, but they were rubbish!
Best wishes & a good new week,
Rosa.

Hi Rosa ,
Thank you so much for your very kind visit.
Glad you like it.
I do have a whole album of moon shots (link below), but I think that now the challenge is to make a nice composition.. I am sure with your imagination you can make many nice moon pictures!
Let me also say that many of those spectacular moon pics you see with a gigantic moon are photoshopped.... Not real!
Best Wishes, a good week ahead, and keep safe!!

Hi Peter,
It just goes to show how trusting I am ;-))
I suppose it's art if it is photoshopped and a good photograph if it isn't!
Which is yours??
All the best, Rosa.

Hi Rosa,
Your visit is much appreciated. Thank you!
I'm happy that you had a good look!!
In this case, the moon genuinely was there in that part of the sky. As I said to Herb, "This is what is known as a 'supermoon' ie when it is closest to Earth. That makes it look a lot bigger than normal."
If you look in my 'Moon' album www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/album/1047510 and look carefully at the big moons, you will see that the moon rolls as it goes across the sky, ie the same bit is not always at the top. If you find a genuine moon picture from that time at that night, you will see that the pattern of light and dark is exactly correct. Proof of a genuine Moon photo!
Of course a bit of post processing to clean up the picture...
Best Wishes, and keep safe!!

Hi Güni : ,

Maybe a bat did fly through the image, but as they are dark coloured, and very fast, I would never have known!

My dear Peter,

What a wonderful shot of the super moon from the church yard! Certainly it is a nice place to take the moon! The grave stones add much! A perfect scene!

Wow, so atmospheric, just brilliant!
Bats have been in the papers a lot here recently. Obviously the young ones have problems finding their way home and end up in people's houses and in offices if windows are left open;-)

Hi Gudrun ,
Your visit is most welcome. Thank you.

Bats are very common here, especially in old buildings like the adjacent church. But hard to see because they are very quick, black, and only come out at night. We also have laws to protect them and their habitats.
Best Wishes, a good week ahead, and keep safe!!
