Supermoon

The Supermoon of 19th March, 2011:  Supermoons occur when the moon is unusually close to the earth and as a result appears 14% bigger and shines 30% brighter.  The last time this happened was nearly 20 years ago in March 1993.

I’m thrilled.  Not only was the weather with me for this special event, I have ticked off an item from my Photography Bucket List – to get a shot of the moon that I was at least half-way happy with.  This is where I say a big thank you to Brian at FS Photography for being generous in sharing his expertise.  I think I’m now half way to understanding what I’m doing with night-time shots!
