Stunning Moonlight Yesterday!

borran (71) in photography • 7 years ago

Full moon over a frozen lake in Southern Finland: Date: 01.03.2018, Time: 18:05 (6:05 PM), Temperature: -15 Celsius (5 Fahrenheit).

Yesterday I took a walk on a lake near my home and when it started to darken I realized that the moon was huge. I had to go back home and pick up my camera.

Overall I am satisfied with the photos, even though I would have wanted to take more shots. Unfortunately it was so freaking damn cold that I started to lose sensation in my hands.

I have heard that some people are really struggling to fall asleep during a full moon. Fortunately I have never noticed any difference. Have you?

All photos were taken by me with my camera: Nikon Coolpix P530.

I hope you enjoyed my post! Thanks for stopping by!

Beautiful photos Borran ! Definitely the right decision to go pickup the camera and take these shots.I have never heard that people can't sleep when its full moon, maybe its just a myth or is it actually proven ? Also, Finland is so cold !! You are probably used to such temperatures.

Thank you for contributing to the Steemit Community.Keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to your next posts.

I wanted to but I was driving at the time so I contented myself with my view from the road. It was big and red in the early evening

Wow, I never really understood how anyone can take such a great, sharp close-up of the Moon. Anytime I try to capture it, its a little blurred dot :D I watched the giant Moon yestreday too, it was rising directly from the sea here in the bay. Here is my shot :DD

I cant wait to get a real camera and start taking real shots :) Awesome images borran!

That yesterdays moon was huge. I noticed that also. One of those nights that it would have been easily possible to walk in the forest during night time, it was so much light.

I'm one of those people who don't sleep well when it's full moon. This time, however, I slept like a baby! So apparently it doesn't happen every time. :)

Nice photos! :)

Beautiful!!! I might occasionally struggle to fall asleep during a full moon, but that's because I'm too busy watching the moon! One advantage of having a north window in my current house... the moon can't distract me too much.
Thanks for sharing your fabulous pictures - of course, the moon makes a very good, albeit challenging, subject.

Okay! :)..But I have also heard about people that can't sleep even if the sleeping room is dark with no moon light coming through the window! Maybe it's something else that distract them? Thanks for stopping by! :)

Those ones... are werewolves... just kidding, but couldn't resist!
There is something very primal about the moon - calls to our very souls.

Haha! Maybe they are! ;).. Yeah I think so too, cats can also sometimes go nuts when it's full moon!
