Day 177, 2013 - Moon (daytime)
Tried shooting the moon last night because of some spectacular craters showing up. Right at the point of firing my first keeper shot the clouds moved over - What? Where did they come from?!
So I decided to shoot it this morning because the moon was still up. Wow! The morning sun and atmosphere really messed up the colors. Lesson learned.

I actually think that less than full moons look better in photos. You can see more detail in the shaded or soon to be shaded area. Craters look better.
The night of the Super Moon I was showing a few other people that night exactly the same thing. Everyone was oooing and ahing over the chance to shoot it. I had a picture on my camera at the time from two days prior and showed them the detail of a partial verse a full moon.
I first learned this when racing the 24 hours of Moab mountain bike race. All through the daylight I'm racing the course and then along comes night and I turned on my helmet light. It was absolutely amazing how the light being on relatively the same plane as my eyes and all the detail of the terrain was lost because the light wiped out the shadows that would normally be there from overhead light - the sun. I have no night vision problems or depth perception, but without those shadows I couldn't recognize the size of obstacles.
Day 178, 2013 - In A Cats Eye
The cat was laying there trying to stay cool in the 100+ temps when I thought how perfect to shoot the cat... it's too hot to move. So as I sit down at the computer to prep the photo I notice the detail reflected in her eye: light horizontal line is the porch in front of her where the sun is hitting at full intensity, from the middle of the horizontal line moving to the viewers right are trees and a house, and finally to the left of center is me taking the picture. So I scrapped the photo and worked the eye.
