Show us photos in which the main subject is the moon in all its many guises. Difficulty – no butt cheeks.
Thanks for the theme suggestion, redwoodcruzr!
January 3, 2009 at 8:24 pm #20779justkatParticipantNo last minute shots on this one. No visible moon the day of the contest! 😛
January 3, 2009 at 8:45 pm #20780ElsinoreKeymasterlol good to know!

Unless someone wants to do a “I accidentally the whole moon” picture. (I want to try that, but I don’t quite know how hard it will be. I will probably learn why it is impossible)
January 10, 2009 at 10:27 am #20782RcMacStudentParticipantHeads up – I just read an article (see link) that said we’re going to have the largest and brightest full moon of the year this weekend.

February 7, 2009 at 1:42 am #20784bucky_baconParticipantJust in case you haven’t heard – lunar eclipse on Feb 9th (Monday)
Apparently not visible in the Eastern US though… 🙁

A good place to see it when it does happen:
Sweet, visible in western US. Hope Colorado is “western” enough.
February 7, 2009 at 2:02 am #20786RcMacStudentParticipantI saw this site http://www.brighthub.com/science/space/articles/3959.aspx , from their map at the bottom of the article it looks like any place West of Louisiana should be able to see it.

I, apparently, suck at this game. The last one (August) was visible on the east coast, but not Hawaii…..
February 7, 2009 at 6:49 am #20788olavfParticipantAwesome. I think I’ve got three decent ones for this contest, and a re-take of one to hopefully make it stronger, but I’m down for something even more challenging 😛
February 10, 2009 at 4:51 pm #20789justkatParticipantwith my P&S i’m going to have to fall back on ‘silly’… which sometimes gets me votes — just for being different, i guess. or maybe they are sympathy votes for the girl on the short bus. heeheehee
February 16, 2009 at 10:55 pm #20790corsec67ParticipantFebruary 16, 2009 at 11:45 pm #20791orionidParticipantHeh. Don’t feel too bad. I’m figuring there’s going to be lots of extreme-zoom action….. So I’m going for something different, including an archive shot from my old pos…. errrr…. p&s.
February 23, 2009 at 8:05 am #20792orionidParticipantHey, Redwoodcruzr and Elsinore, I’m feeling alot of mediocrity on this one with the shots I do have…. Would a scale model of the lunar lander set into a moon-like diorama be kosher, or are we focusing only on the real-deal?
