Such a day! Enough. Do please try not to make too much fun of the picture; I'll get better with practice.
. . . I think.

Do they have Big Lots down there? You can get a little tripod for $5. Makes all the difference in the world for scenic shots.

Which Duran Duran lyric?
The wild boys are calling
On their way back from the fire
In august moon's surrender to
A dust cloud on the rise
I do indeed have Big Lots, Jim. Thanks for reminding me--it's been awhile since I've been in there to browse anyhow.
And Hubris, lyric was: I light my torch and wave it for the new moon on Monday . . . Which has got to be one of their sillier lyrics but hey, it was a new moon, and it was Monday.

Because I just *siiiiigh* every time I look at it and think "There's no place like home."

But damn, the sky here! I canNOT get over it. It's much better than even Phoenix because the air's so much cleaner. I LOVE it.
Posted by: ilyka at January 3, 2006 08:56 PMThe moon will be stuttery at night because of the slower shutter speed. The tripod might help a little on that shot but not much. The problem here isn't you not holding still with the camera. It's more likely because your subjects are moving. Now, if you could get the Earth to stand still........
