It's a full moon tonight so I took the camera to the farm and tried some moon shots. The idea was inspired by photos sent to me by Diane. Thanks Diane. I didn't have my tripod so when I took the pictures I had to focus on Peg or the moon. If one was focused the other was blurry. My theory is that I needed to use a larger depth of field. Since I didn't have a tripod I couldn't have my shutter speed too low. Not sure if I'm correct but it sounds good in my head. Any other theories or actual reasons are welcome.
I have to admit that I played with the pics a bit in Photoshop. I took the focused moon from one shot and put it over the blurry moon in this shot. I also worked a bit on my signature. Thanks to Julie and Monica I was able to download some new fonts AND learned how to make my signature a Brush (define brush). I realized after posting that the signature is a bit small but I only saved the picture as jpeg so I couldn't go back and adjust. The good news is I did figure out how to make it bigger for next time. Thanks for all the help. I couldn't have done it without you all.
Did a little playing this evening with moons, pumpkins and Photoshop. Took one of the moon shots I got this evening and blended it with E's Halloween pumpkin. Interesting but I think there is more playing to be done. It does however, fit the mood of the season.

Out at the farm again this evening. Just as we were getting ready to leave we noticed the moon rising in the sky above the trees. The sky was much lighter than in this photo but I didn't have my tripod with me so I had to use a faster shutter speed so less light. I played with it a bit in Lightroom and voila.
