I have always been interested in photography but since 2004 I switched from film to digital and have really concentrated on improving my photography skill. I trust this shows in the quality of images I am taking. I take photos here on my blog for my own enjoyment and share them with you in hope you, the viewer, will enjoy them too.

The Moon! One of my favourite subjects to shoot. It was my first "real" shot. A copy was actually hanging in Appleby's for some time. I'm pretty proud of it. Now, I didn't just "snap" my shot, so, fess up. You did at least use a tripod right? :)

a.k.a. Mrs. Shakey Hands! LOL!
Hi Mrs. Rule;
Taken at 1/60" at f 7.1 on a tripod, of course, at full zoom. Mya and I had been in town to visit Appleby's, the City Market, Brunswick Square, and a playground in Quispamsis. I had my camera gear in Carolyn's car as that is where the car seat for the kids is. I was bringing the gear inside as company was leaving around 9 Pm.
I looked up and there was the moon hanging there begging to be photographed. Just before I took the picture some interesting clouds were passing by and I was trying to catch them too. Having the shaky hand syndrome I clipped the camera on the tripod and framed the shot. Now what I did see, in addition to the moon, was a tiny round circular object traveling at a very high rate of speed cross the face of the moon to quickly disappear behind the trees. It is possible it was a small airplane but compared to the large jets that were also flying overhead at that time it was smaller than 1/10th the size and was traveling at two to three times the speed. It was also traveling in a direction completely different from what I was accustomed to seeing airplanes fly. It is possible it could have been a very high flying bird lit by the setting sun but it would have had to be flying very high to reflect the setting sun and extremely fast for a bird. It was much too fast for me to track and get a picture of even though I tried. Carolyn and my company also were able to look up and see it moments before it disappeared.

Hi All:
Further to my reply to Mrs Rule above I now think what I saw streaking through the sky may have been the Space Station.
