  1. Oh gosh, Timothy, these photos of the harvest moon are absolutely stunning. I went outside at 4am this morning to see the moon, but alas the sky was overcast, so these photos were a pure joy and great substitute. I also like the thought of you being outside in the dark recording the mystical beauty.

    • Between waiting for the moon on the rice, watching it come over the mountains, and walking back to the house was about an hour. The last shots was taken in the morning when the moon was setting. It was before the first shot and the first shot was after the last. Thanks, Geoff.

  2. Stunning moon!!! Love the variations of moon height in the sky. I look forward to your upcoming photos of the balloon festival – if memory serves me correctly, I believe you told me it’s in early October?

  3. Ah, the harvest moon. The surrounding farmers are now all in the fields trying to get their crops in before the rain comes in a few days (of course it is going to rain, I have a race sigh). Unfortunately, it means all the insects are being driven out of the fields right towards our house.

    • Thanks, Julie. I rarely use a tripod. No need for one to photograph a full moon because the exposures are daylight settings. I do use a tripod for lunar eclipses and solar eclipses because the light level becomes very low on the lunar eclipses and I have to use a very dark filter for solar eclipses. Time lapse video works best with a tripod, also.
