Super Moon 7-23-13
- These were all taken on my iPhone 5. The ones I took back in June were actually taken the night BEFORE it was supposed to be the Super Moon. Silly me, I got my days mixed up. Then when the actual night came, I had forgotten all about it. Oh, well. The pictures taken July 23 — yes, Tuesday morning, not Monday night — were taken sometime between 4:30 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. Once again I had forgotten to go out on Monday night and check it out. I just wanted to play around with the camera phone. I really didn’t think I’d get anything to show up since there are no settings on the phone and I don’t have a tripod or anything. Of course, it was overcast both nights. After all, this is Florida in the summer. None of the photos have been retouched other than some cropping. I realize they’re not very good but how good can it be on a camera phone in the dark?

Thanks, Sally! I’m still surprised anything showed up at all. 🙂

You sure have a better phone camera than I do.
Well, it’s only just a bit better than my very old digital camera with just three megapixels. iPhone 5 has seven. I saw where Sony or somebody is testing a 75 megapixel camera. Good grief!!!
You’re talking way over my head!
I doubt that! 🙂 But, then, I think it just means that you could probably take a close-up of the moon with it at night. Very detailed pics, I suppose! LOL
Impressive! I don’t get very good results with my iPhone at night. You’ve encouraging me to try again! http://ohtheplaceswesee.com
Thanks! I’m still surprised I got anything at all other than a blob of light! 🙂
Hey Linda, ‘not very good’??? I think they are delightful and even somewhat mysterious. They remind me of early children’s book illustrations. Big like from me ;0)
Thanks, Johanna! I had even debated about using them. I appreciate that. 🙂
High five! I did night photography too and yes the camera phone is not too good at it. Hur hur hur~ Thanks for sharing how the moon looks like at your end of the world! 🙂
Isn’t it amazing how that old man in the moon can look the same from all angles?? Hee Hee!!
The pictures are wonderful. I’ve never tried doing night photography, but your success motivates me to give it a try.
Thanks, Sheryl! Nothing ventured, nothing gained I say. That’s the nice thing about digital. 😉
I like the feeling I get from those photos. Somewhat spooky but not scary. Somehow lonesome.
Good description! We have so many trees around us I couldn’t get one of just the moon out in the open and I think that made it better! 🙂
Love your photos even if you had the wrong day. I almost forgot but then went out and could not see with the trees. Even if you missed it I am sure enjoying your photos anyway,
Aw, what a wonderful thing to say! I appreciate your visits and comments! 😻
