Moonstruck

Quote of the day: “When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator.” ~Mohandas Gandhi

Full Moon Last Night

Gorgeous full moon last night!  After I got home from my evening meeting, I grabbed my tripod and camera and went outside and played with photographing the moon.  The weather was unseasonably mild and the moonlight was magical.  I learned that the secret to photos where you can see the features of the moon is to set your camera on manual and play with the exposure.  I kept shortening the shutter time until I could see the familiar shadows and contours on the moon in my photos.

One of the things I LOVE about photography is the time I spend outside in nature all times of the day and night.  My love of photography brings me so much JOY just soaking up the world as it is.  Before I was a photographer, I didn’t stop and look and breathe in the wonder all around me nearly as often.  Now I notice beauty and wonder all the time, every day.  It’s a beautiful way to live.

Wishing you beauty and wonder today.
