Nice share! Very bright. I agree, cell phone cameras don't do moon shots all that well.

Thanks

The camera on my iPhone is a bit better, and there are also a couple of Full Moon pics I’ve taken with that, from July and August:

Very nice! I might be brave enough now to show the ones I got from August... very orange lovely moon.

Thank you

You should as that would be really nice to see.
Orange Moons are brilliant. I love it in particular when the Moon is just rising and atmosphere acts as a magnifying glass - I've not seen that for a while but find it magical whenever I do.

Also, I particularly love Supermoons and Blood Moons, although I know they're much rarer.

I've been trying to work out which month it is that we'll be getting two Full Moons soon, as I've noticed the Full Moon date wandering closer to the start of the month. Maybe December? I'm not sure LOL.

September 7... we went out to look for Northern Lights but found this instead.

Wow!! That looks more like a sunset. Stunning!

September 7 was actually the one I missed as I tried repeatedly to take photos of that Moon but the iPhone camera wouldn't focus properly - very strange, it must've been due to atmospheric conditions as the only clear-ish night for that Moon was still a bit hazy here... And I don't like posting out-of-focus pics. So this kinda completes the recent set! LOL! Smile

Here’s a capture of the Moon from earlier tonight - it’s not completely full yet, but with the weather in this part of Scotland you never know if tomorrow night will be clear or not, so I took this chance while it was there! I’ll post another better photo in the next day or two if I get a chance.

Here’s the capture I took earlier on tonight - a bit cloudy, but that actually had the effect of magnifying the Moon on the iPhone camera.
It was an interesting experience as I was in the local park and there were people letting fireworks off near me, and some of the fireworks sounded like they got pretty close...!

Glad I took the photo when I did, because it’s clouded over completely now.

Managed to get a better shot tonight, glad it was a clear night after all. That park has proved to be handy Smile

Nice clear skies here last night too and a beaut big full moon. Was a very nice sight!

Shots captured tonight of the Full Moon as it rose over the hillside outside my living room window:

Kaere and Lion: incredible pictures!!! Thanks for sharing!

I worked last night and I knew there was a full moon even without going outside, just by the residents behaviour (I work in a care home where 90% of residents are elderly and have dementia).

by Rogue Tue Jan 02, 2018 7:43 pm

It is interesting the affect the full moon has on people, even though so many people are quick to say it doesn't. I have heard people here talk of the trouble they have in the mining communities on the nights of full moons. People go crazy!

by Kaere Tue Jan 02, 2018 7:44 pm

I believe it...

by Agartha Wed Jan 03, 2018 4:53 am

I believe it too. There's lots of evidence on the moon affecting our sleep patterns (for example); one scientist held on to his study for four years until he got enough proof of it, and he held on to it because he couldn't believe the results.

So far I have read one study that found a link between dementia and negative behaviours during full moon.

by Rogue Wed Jan 03, 2018 9:53 am

For some reason, those born under the sign of Scorpio also seem to be particularly affected. True!

by TrueCrazyLion Wed Jan 03, 2018 6:00 pm

Agreed on the Full Moon affecting how people behave - I've known a few people who've worked in care homes and hospitals, and they've all consistently said that it was easy to tell when there is a Full Moon from how the service users are acting - including more people being admitted to hospital after getting in fights on nights out etc.

It's meant to have an effect on the behaviour of pets too.

Lunar Eclipse, Blue Moon, & Blood Moon - coming up 31 January.

The moon is said to represent the emotions, wonder how we might see that play out on the world stage?

Maybe possibly a time of earthquakes, that's what many have correlated in the the past. Let's see.
