Every photographer has to take a few pictures of the moon. I’m no exception. Of course, because the moon does not rotate on her axis and shows us only one face, most moon shots look much the same.
Those few times when I have been able to shoot the through trees in the woods, I got something a little different.

A HARVEST MOON 
SERENDIPITY - SEEKING INTELLIGENT LIFE ON EARTH 
Some great mysterious photos here! Thanks for sharing. I have a poetry blog here on WordPress and today’s poem is about the moon in case you have time to look? Lunar greetings! Sam 🙂

One moon, many trees. It came out a lot better — and much different — than intended 🙂

Those are some great moon shots! I think my lone lunar photo was taken last Christmas when the full moon peeked through the narrow opening in my blinds and I just happened to look out at just the right time. I did do my best to videotape a lunar eclipse back in 1993…

If you have an even moderately long lens, it’s really easy to get a picture of the moon. Just aim and shoot. The auto-focus in the camera does the rest 🙂 Those artsy shots were entirely accidental. The leaves just got in the way of the moon. Twigs and leaves.

Wonderful shots.

Thanks. A lot of them were entirely accidental with leaves and twigs blocking the moon, but they came out interesting 🙂

As I keep saying, the most interesting shots were accidents. The trees were blocking my shots of the moon, but they turned out very artistic 🙂

The photos with the leaves transposed over the moon are most extraordinary.

I wish I could say I planned them that way, but it was accidental. I have since learned to do that on purpose, but that was just a happy accident.

I don’t think great art is necessarily planned. Sometimes it just happens.

Well, this was one of those times. The good part was that I realized how it had happened and given the right light, I can do it on purpose now.

When you get a chance can you try it again?

Yes, but not until some of the leaves fall off the trees. Right now, I wouldn’t know whether or not there IS a moon.

It’s coming soon, Marilyn. The leaves will fall.

Got some nice shots there. I never bothered very much up to now, but I should try a little harder when doing it. At the moment we have rain and thunder and I do not think that the sky will be clear enough for a good shot this evening.

It’s pretty easy. Anything more than a half moon and a clear sky and a moderately long lens? The more interesting pictures are the ones that I’ve taken through the trees. Otherwise, pretty easy stuff. I was surprised it was so easy.

Gorgeous! I was just out last night taking pictures of the full moon…sadly they all just look like the neighbor’s porch light up the hill…so I will enjoy yours. Thank you!

The street lights and house lights are the biggest problem … other than the trees and clouds, of course. Good news? The moon will wait for you 🙂 She does not change her face.

Mesmerizing Moon. Fabulous shots of Moon. Which were the creatures over the moon or not any creatures only leaves (Fourth from the last photo)?

Alas, but I spied no creatures. Just the moons typical face, unchanging. The leaves on the trees created an interesting frame, though.

OK, that was leaves.
