Super Moon this Saturday

Some nice shots.....glad y'all caught a glimpse.....it really was quite a site......

The Moonset should be nice too......heading toward the horizon now......the sky is crystal clear.

So, myself and another couple were standing on the pier of Marie Curtis Park last night...
we debated the timing, one site (weather network) said 7:54 (and I asked him.."and you believe them?") we all had a good chuckle..
but timing was quickly negated by the rising of this beautiful moon over Lake Ontario..it was breathtaking and very fast!

here is one of my shots, I also did not heed Kin Lau's info on how to shoot (of course I should have listened!)
Taken with my 500mm and yes it is blury..but still...wow, wow and WOW!



We then went out around 10pm to see what the moon was up to...well...this was sooo bright (I used a smaller lens) only one photo was worth saving


not as orange but very very bright.
I tried doing it in manual but i gave up...*makes note to always carry a little flashlight*

Here's a video of the moon I made on Saturday. You can also watch it in HD.

Unfortunately, here in Ottawa, there's no lake or similar body of water for the moon to rise out of.

That is so cool. Thanks for sharing.
