However the reason I wanted to include these photos, as when I got up on Sunday morning (11th) and looked out of my kitchen window at 7am, I saw the most gorgeous full moon, and it reminded me of one of my favourite movies, Moonstruck, starring, Cher and Nicholas Cage. For the rest of the morning I was humming the tune, "When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore." Now don't blame me if you start humming that tune!!!

I like these especially the one with the moon in your gazebo!
Gill, I remember that movie and also that song!!!! When I see a full moon, I always sing "Shine On--Shine On Harvest Moon." Remember that one---or am I just too old???? ha ha
Hugs,

That song will be running through my mind until I fall asleep tonight. But your pictures make it worth it.
I've got the song stuck in my head now...!
The moon has been wonderful here as well. And yes I am singing the song.
Great photo! Happy SWF!
No apologies accepted because I LIKE these photos! Night shots are sooooo hard to get and you did fine!
Howl, howl, howl at le la luna. I adore that movie.
I too like the one with the moon in the gazebo!
I got a new camera for Christmas and hoped I could take some of the moon. Haven't practiced yet so I can't give any hints.
I think that's a great movie. One of my (and a lot of peoples') fave lines - Snap out of it!! I think the moon is notoriously difficult to get, you did well!
Nice pictures Gill.
The full moon has been beautiful here also. Especially with the brilliant clear skies and the hills in the background. Must get myself a decent camera that will capture the moon in all its brilliance. Apparently we had king tides to correspond as well.
The pictures are great, better than any I have ever taken of the moon.
Hope you are keeping warm.

Moon photos after dusk seem to be hit or miss, even with a tripod. Although the tripod helps greatly.

I'm humming the tune!
7am!!! How nice.... It is Summer here and the sun is wide and bright by 6am. I miss that little bit of extra sleep :)
I love your photos and am very pleased you posted them :)
Happy SWF!
The full moon was spectacular this month. Lovely night shots.
i think you captured the moon just fine...i am learning the ins/outs of snapping night shots as well.
that was a great movie...
thanks for sharing with us :)
Hi Gill,
Nice Skywatch pictures! I posted a moon picture the other day when it was full and one of the comments was about that song, so it was in my head all day!
How do you survive there with it being so cold!!! It's 24 degrees and we think that's cold here in the deep south USA.
Oh sure Gill. Thanks for getting my favorite Dean Martin song stuck in my head. I do like the shot through the gazebo.
Wheeeennnn the moon hits your eye.....
Cool shots Gill, thanks for sharing.
Cheers!

Enchanting. Thank you for taking the trouble to share.
Warmly,
Tracey
P.S. I love that movie too!
OOOOHhh...beautiful moon shots. I especially like the middle one!
The tune is on my head... my mind is in the moon. Beautiful pictures. You did well. I also prefer the one in the gazebo!
I loved the photos!! I remember I saw the movies too...and I know the song...in fact now I am singing (thanks to you!)...besides I love the full moon too :)
Have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks for cheer me up!

These shots are better than my moon shots! So there's nothing wrong with them! Have a nice weekend!
All is allowed in SWF ;-)
Gill: I do like the shot through the bridge, cool idea.
I wasnt able to take photos of the big moon when it was full this last week...:( Thanks for sharing your shots, beautiful set! (Unfortunately, I havent seen the movie..) Happy weekend!
Maybe you are not happy with the photos but they look pretty good to me.
THey are better than my pictures of the moon! I never have great success with moon photography. I do know that full moons are harder to photograph because the light is reflecting straight back at us and is very bright. Also a friend told me I should use a filter when photographing the full moon - to reduce glare
Hi,
This moon love likes your photos a lot and that song!
