Moonmadness is actually one of my favourite albums, released by a prog-rock group called Camel back in the 70’s I think. I have the CD somewhere. Tonight moonmadness took on a whole new meaning.

I’d not managed to get out today so I thought I’d have a go at the moon which was peeping over the horizon at the back of the house.  Certainly it sounded better than watching the X-factor on the telly.

I got the camera set up (500mm+2X on the 7D) and it immediately hazed over and actually started to drizzle slightly. I swore at the sky! Why me? What have I done wrong?

Anyway, I managed to de-haze this pic. I’m just looking forward to a night when the sky really is clear! It’s time to go and listen to some old albums now…..

Sanity restored?

I just looked out again before putting my gear away and the sky was much clearer – the haze had gone. A couple more pics and this much improved shot. Adrian’s a happy bunny again. (Click on the pic for the full sized version)
