[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 189969, member: 12257"] Well, ok... maybe it's NOT birds yet, but my wife spotted this "blood" moon rising low over the horizon, so we flew home to get the camera, then I hustled down to a local church parking lot to catch a shot before it rose too high, as it was getting smaller, whiter and brighter with every passing moment. Not sure what gave the red/orange tint, but there was a haze over our area all day. Ozone alert? Grass fire? Who knows? I just know I caught a good shot of the moon looking like Nacho Cheese Doritos! Whatever the haze was, it caused a bit of shape distortion, and I definitely had to test my skills as it definitely took settings different than what I was used to using for the moon recently. Plus, thought I'd mess with double clicking an image and setting it to full size for once. ;) Of course, it's only "full size" for the forum, not the actual size I can see on the iMac. :cool: [ATTACH type="full"]49176._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
