Moon Madness

I have always been fascinated with  the incomprehensible vastness of space. Not only is my head often in the clouds, it sometimes feels even farther.

There are a variety of celestial events this year including the SUPER BLOOD WOLF MOON ECLIPSE! Happening this Sunday. There is a lot going on at once....learn more about it here.

At Christmas, I received a crazy telephoto lens that I am looking forward to testing on this special moon. In preparation I took a couple shots a few days ago and am most impressed. It better not be cloudy, is all I keep thinking.

So here is a regular photo taken on my phone....awww look at that cute little moon:


Here is the moon with my good lens:



Needless to say I am looking forward to some SUPER BLOOD WOLF MOON ECLIPSE pictures. Stay tuned!

    And that's why a cell phone isn't suitable for all photography! Nothing like a great lens. Great photo, Jenn!
