Just Another Moon

Another Moon

Solstice Sunset

24 Hours Apart
Two views of the moon taken about 24 hours apart. The top one taken two days before the full moon. The second a day later. The moon rises a bit latter each day so the second one was closer to the horizon and so a bit bigger and oranger looking. If you look at both you can see there is a slightly different view of the moon. Just a bit of a turn but not much.

Blue Angel 6

Blue Angels 2021 (75 years)
Always have your camera with you reason 2021. I was down near the airport in Melbourne last Thursday and Friday. The Blue Angels were practicing their routine for the weekends air show. On Thursday I had my camera but with only a 35mm lens and there was really nothing I could do about capturing the team. On Friday I was back at the same location about the same time. (Getting a new phone is like buying a new car, it takes several days to get the job done,) I wasn’t sure if they would be practicing both days but as luck would have it they were and I was smart enough to bring a longer lens. My 18-135 at 122.8mm was enough to get a few shots. For their 75th anniversary they are flying F/A-18 Super Hornets. They are fast and loud. Having them fly over you at low altitude is a thing to experience!
