To get that shot

At past eleven pm yesterday, Andrew asked me if I wanted to get up to the rooftop of the carpark to photograph the full moon. It being only a day past the lunar fifteenth, the moon still appeared totally round, and very bright. So I put a sweater over my jammies and we took the huge 100-400mm almost telescopic lens and the tripod up.

The clouds were very uncooperative and we ended up with less than average shots of the moon with scant a detail. Argh. I’ll try again next month. It was really lovely in the beginning though, with the almost pure warm glow of the moon lighting up the nearby clouds. By the time we were done setting up the huge ass tripod, we knew we couldn’t get the shot we wanted. The clouds had come in way too close.

Oh well.

Anyway, it was interesting to note how we had spoilt the total seclusion of the carpark area for a couple of get-a-hotel-room lovebirds.
