Plum Blossom Moon

Plum Blossom Moon

our moon, around 1 AM today. Realize it's not a great shot as moon shots go, but without an added telephoto lens, that's all I can achieve at this point. It was so beautiful that I had to make an attempt, despite missing full moon the previous night. And am so happy about the plum blossoms too, - they were a

lovely surprise : ) In the dark, didn't realize which tree branches were being captured.

This is such a beautiful picture. I just love it!! The Moon so nicely centered between the branches which seem to be reaching out their arms to it. A beautiful picture.

thanks, Orchiedea_blue. Am hoping to improve on many of these.

Felt the same way when I noticed where you are. There aren't many of "us" onlist, far as I know.

Alandra this shot is amaising. Very mystical with the blossom and the moon

Alandra - thought it fitting I should take a look at your photos...I love the way the branches kind of "frame" the photo. Beautiful shot, as I am a sucker for those types of blossoms on branches myself!

Loved this one - and would like to echo Cassandra's remarks. I think it is a great shot. Well done, Alandra

thankyou Maya and Cassandra, am happy you enjoyed this so much, Cassandra

I loved the way the plum blossoms cradled the Moon. I also love a full Moon. I wished myself standing there and felt the mystery of the moon so far and yet seeming as close.

Beautiful and creative work.

thanks Mary, somehow missed thanking you for the comment.

Alandra from southwestern BC Canada on Feb 28, 2005 at 10:38 PM said:

thanks very much, Deb and Gary S.

well, am looking forward to the time when I can get more detail on the moon, as in Alex D's and Frank Z's shots : ) dream on Alandra--

Nice work Alandra...very beautiful shot..great blossom surprise!

Mary Sham from Pittsburgh, PA on Feb 28, 2005 at 3:45 AM said:

Really nice shot Alandra. The Plum Blossoms and colors added to it giving it an Oriental touch.

Hi Gary, thanks for the kind praise. well, what I meant is that there's no detail on the actual moon, as in some of the great moon shots on LF. But am happy with the way they turned out. And surprised too really, as they were fired off in rapid succession, and I was back indoors in no time flat : )

Gary Minniss from Arizona on Feb 26, 2005 at 10:14 PM said:

What do you mean it is not a great shot? Looks great to me - truly. I really like your moon shots a lot.

Alandra from southwestern BC Canada on Feb 26, 2005 at 9:56 PM said:

also meant to say, "thanks, Vicki" : ) for the praise

Alandra from southwestern BC Canada on Feb 26, 2005 at 9:55 PM said:

nope, didn't use a tripod for any of them, nor for any of the photos in the gallery. DH does have a tripod, but have no idea where it is at this moment. Guess I should start using it for certain shots, but am usually in a rush and don't plan these shots.

Vicki (TravlynWomyn) from Ocala National Forest, Florida on Feb 26, 2005 at 9:08 PM said:

NO tripod, Alandra? Now that makes it even more impressive. Love the plum blossoms in the foreground

Alandra from southwestern BC Canada on Feb 26, 2005 at 8:23 PM said:

thanks very much for the praise, Alex D and Alex R : )

Smiling also re the "planned" comment, Alex D. Nothing much about my crazy life has been planned : ) so my photos follow along the same way, usually. Just spur of the moment.

(wanted to add that the camera was hand held, no tripod used).

Whittler from Maine on Feb 26, 2005 at 7:48 PM said:

very nice, I like the effect with the plum blossoms.

Alex D. from Alameda, CA on Feb 26, 2005 at 7:40 PM said:

The composition of these shots are wonderful. The plum blossoms came out well, and the moon is not bad. I would assume this was planned if you didn't say otherwise.
