Two shots today. Day 98

April 8, 2011-This large Eastern Carpenter bee and company have set up house on the ramp, right outside my door. Whenever I come out there they hover on either side of me and then start to chase each other and sometimes me off the ramp. I have been trying to capture them but the minute I focus on them they fly off. Not today!

And the shot of the moon:

The Waxing Crescent Moon, last night’s moon was only four days old. I try to capture the moon as early as I can. I was trying for a two and three day old moon, but I wasn't able to with the weather conditions. So this is the earliest I can get for this cycle. (Day 98:365 @sharkbayte)

The Harvest Moon.

Last night's full moon, one of my favorites. For me fall doesn't start until the harvest moon appears. #365Project Day 296 (2010.10.23) @sharkbayte

I hope I am not boring people by posting two moon shots two days in a row, I promise tomorrow's picture will be of a different subject.
Have a great Saturday! -Sharkbayte

Last night's moon

Last night's moon, not quite full but darn close! Waxing gibbous 98% full. I am hoping with the weather's cooperation to take a shot at tonight's full moon. Day 295 (2010.10.22) #365project @sharkbayte

Got an early start today for my daily shot. This way I am not so rushed at night to post my pictures. I am planning on shooting later tonight for tomorrows shot. That is if both the weather and my body cooperate. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my pictures!

Day 174

Top pick is my daily shot, it is the sunset, the middle shot is a closer shot of the sunset and then of course I need to finish my moon project so this is tonight's moon. if it stays clear for 2 more nights I should be able to get the full moon pic this time. Settings can be seen on my flickr site

02.27.2010 #365 Project - Full Moon or 14 day old moon 99% visible., originally uploaded by sharkbayte.

Clouds were swiftly approaching by the time I was getting comfortable with my settings. I wanted to play more but it was too cold and then when I looked behind me and saw that the entire sky was cloudy I had to end the fun for the night.

Day 57 #365 Project- 13 day old moon with 94% visibilty.

Well today Kuro (both) have to figure out a name for the second cat, arrived. I am waiting on the last cat to arrive and the set is complete. Dan Board or Danboa I am still not sure if I am going to get the second piece and finish that set. The moon was calling me tonight. I am not too thrilled with the shot I am hoping tomorrow and Sat/Sun (actual full moon is on Sun at 11:38am) I come back with a shot I like. So for my 365 Project I am using the moon shot.

#365 Project Day 52- First Quarter Moon 8 days old.

I am hoping that the weather stays this nice or at gets even warmer! It wasn't too bad outside tonight. At 7:42 pm. the moon was at its first quarter. Tomorrow according to the moon phases chart 57% will be visible. I think tonight's visibility was at least 50% if not a tad more. I also saw my first insect tonight which was a moth. I swear the rest of the insect world traveled south to stay warm.

Day 51 #365 Project-7 day old moon 36% visible tonight.

tonight I did the black and white convert and then sharpened a bit, after I cropped. I am hoping I can get the moon tomorrow as well. The weather isn't that bad the past few days, could be a bit warmer than what it has been though.

365 Project (50/365) 6 day old Crescent Moon 27% visible tonight.

I believe I am going to make a poster out of the moon pictures I am taking. I want to capture all the different phases of the moon. Tonight I converted to black and white, as I see a lot of moon photos in black and white.

365 Project Day 49-Crescent Moon 5 days old, 18% visible.

I had hoped to get outside last night as I wanted to catch the crescent moon earlier, but it was too cold for me. So I will just start documenting what days I get and hopefully I will catch enough to make a calendar or poster of the different phases. Tonight's moon is 5 days old with 18% visible.

Day 26- (026/365) 365 Project A wild sky today!
