First Blue Moon of 2018 (Original Photo/Video)

in photography •  7 years ago 

It was cloudy most of the day and I did not see the moon rise, but toward mid-night the clouds thinned out and the moon appeared.

Photograph/video taken on 31 January 2018.

Blue Moon Photo

This photo was tinted blue to show a blue moon.

Original Photo: Canon EOS 7D; f/45; 0.6 sec.; ISO-100; 300mm

Blue Moon Animated GIF

You can see the high clouds rolling across the face of the moon. Sometimes it looks like a sandstorm moving across the face of the moon. The colors in this video were not modified.

Blue Moon: 3 Minute Video

I couldn't resist matching the "Blue Moon" up with Dean Martin singing "Blue Moon". I tinted the moon blue and gold to go with the song.

“Yours is the light by which my spirit's born: - you are my sun, my moon, and all my stars.”

Me encanto @etcmike, tienes un medio fotográfico muy bueno, se nota la calidad en las imágenes.

Te cuento, cuando yo tenía como 9 años vivía en el campo y en las noches de luna llena salía a caminar porque pensaba que la luna me perseguía.

Jejejejeje.
Fue hasta que fuí adulta que entendí que la luna no me perseguía.

Hoy día la historia se repite con mi hijo, que piensa lo mismo.

I see what you did there, you tinted the moon blue for effect. Clever. The real blue moon looks like every other night, just twice in one month. @ironshield

Its simply fabulous. The way you capture it is incredible. Thanks for sharing.

Have a great day!

Wow! Great images. I saw the moon on the beach. It was magical!!!

I can just imagine how magical it was.

When I lived along the beach in California, seeing the moon set on the ocean was magical too. I think I only saw one blue moon setting while I lived there. Back in those days I used a blue filter with a film camera.

Have a wonderful weekend!

wonderful video to watch and the music along with it was super nice

We had a great view of the eclipse here in Australia. Check out my blog if you want to see.

I clicked the post wondering why the moon was actually blue near you. Obviously it's tinted though, most click bait thing by you so far ;) Got to see the nice gif so worth it in the end :D

It was hard not to tint it when everyone calls it a "blue moon". I did include the animated gif of what it really looked like.

I must admit that on some cold winter nights my eyes do see a bluish tint to the moon. Or maybe that was just my eyes starting to get frost bite.

Have a fantastic week!

Hello @etcmike beautiful photos of the moon. Yesterday I tried to take some pictures but it was cloudy most of the night.

And good video, short but precise, focusing on what you want to see.

You capture the photo like professionals. Result of your camera is so good to capture that long range photo. Thanks for sharing this.

Thank you for you kind comments.

I am still learning and need a lot more practice. The video editing software has taken me a bit longer to learn than I originally thought it would.

Have a fantastic weekend!

I had a hard time seeing anything with the moon the last two days so I appreciate the pictures to at least see it online!

it was so surreal amazing experience to watch the video you took relaxing music too

So you got a pic of it. Great!

Myself, I missed it.

I wish I could have caught the moon rising.

I was up, binge watch the second season of the new MacGyver series. Toward midnight I noticed the glow from the moon and started photographing it. I was happy the clouds thinned enough to get a few pictures and videos.

Have a great week!
