A shot at the full moon minutes before the unfolding of the 2011 lunar eclipse. Not knowing that 10th December 2011 was the magic date for sighting the drama in all of Asia, I went in and watched my weekly dose of football, waking up the next morning disappointed.

Moonlighting
Sorry about the pun, that wasn't intentional. I don't moonlight. I love what I'm currently doing and I don't have a second job. So, let's just stick to the light emitted - or rather reflected - by the moon.

Beautiful I suppose, in the eye of the burung pungguk at least, but this guy is a Rhinoceros Hornbill and believe me it never really was 'right-here-waiting' for the moon, unlike the poor old owl.
Limited reach of the 24-120mm f/4 is evident in these combo shots. Hand-held with VR switched on.

The quest for a really round full moon is still on
| Almost there... |
The older generation says that the moon is 'late' for work when you can see it hanging around pass dawn.

This was almost a year ago, captured with a 18-200mm nikkor lens. Focal length equivalent to 300mm on film camera/full frame DSLR.
Finally a full moon last week. Good weather, good time but lack the necessary gear. Have to be contented for now.
Till next time, happy moonlighting!
