friday's fringe 33 ~ morphing the moon



i couldn't get a full moon picture wednesday night...too much cloud cover.
BUT thursday morning, the air was crisp & cool (46F) & clear!

my youngest son (28yrs) travis, is living with us (again).
i've been driving him up to the 'day labor' place every morning at 5:30
and sitting in the parking lot waiting to drive him to a jobsite.
i grabbed my camera.



my first picture was looking toward the road with the moon & star
still high enough in the sky for a good picture.
those WHITE LINES toward the bottom of the picture are cars rushing by.


zooming in on the moon...in it's magical fullness!

29 november 2012  at  5:25am



and now comes the FUN part.
moon morphs!


mosaic tiles



cubism style



heat map



aaaaaaah.  the purple moon.



embossed



and just plain dreamy...

  4. Wonderful, laura!

    We had cloud cover for the full moon too, but this morning (around 4 A.M) it was shining through the tree tops so I took a picture. Haven't downloaded it yet...

  10. Oh gee, did you ever get a bunch of awesome shots- I always enjoy what and how you work with your photos! You've done magic here too. Our best full moon I was away and didn't have my camera- that doesn't happen often. Then last night when I was all ready to shoot- no way, it wasn't going to happen. No moon too much cloud cover or whatever! I hope you've got good plans for your Saturday? My day so far is rather gloomy outside and a cool 32 degrees but it should warm up some! Hahahahahaha! This is Minnesota, what am I thinking!

    1. oh yeah, he's been working all week!
      the only ...sort of...bad thing...for me...is that i take him to the Labor Place at 5:30...he gets a ticket to a job...and i then drive him to that job, which all week has been all the way on the other side of town. oh well. i do what i can do. there are no buses from where we live, outside the city limits.

    1. you will...you will...
      if you can adjust the light in...adjust it so the least amount of light comes in. ESPECIALLY when the moon is FULL!
      that's what i do...it seems to work pretty good! thanks for stopping by & leaving a note!!

  17. Got an adult son living in our basement. But it's good to know he's got a clean bed every night. As for your weird moons -- love them all.

  19. Świetna zabawa z księżycem w pełni. Światła samochodu też ciekawie wyglądają. Pozdrawiam.
    Great fun with the full moon. The headlights also look interesting. Yours.

  20. Love a daytime moon, love the pictures, love the morphs. I just posted last week's full moon picture from Oregon. Yours is better ;>)

  21. Sorry I'm a week late. We've had a sick grandson staying with us, so, time has been short. Love all of your moon shots. The morphing thing is fun. I have gimp, but, sometimes it's hard to work with.

    Will, jump over to your current 'Friday Fringe'. See you soon!♥
