Pic of the week game
- Thread starter Burque73
- Start date
and Merry Christmas!
I was thinking I must have a pic that has the moon in the sky, just that I dont remember.
After Multiple occassions of looking thru pictures, I find this from back 2012, August 2012, apparently on way to work, 6am, I pulled off in a parking lot in industrial park to take this picture of the low hanging full moon.
I dont recall it.
I recognize the place, and know is looking west, so at 6 am, that is not the sun.
I am annoyed not only with the focus, but the general compostion.
Only good thing is that I did find a place with a somewhat open area.
But apparently I just stood there, and took a picture of "here, look, what I saw this morning on way to work".
Am almost hollering at myself, hey, if would have gotten down for lower perspective, just bend down some, or kneel on one knee, or something, could have minimized the open grassy area, minimized the hanger and industrial building, and had the bike and the moon and the sky fill more of the frame.
I suppose this all shows how my photo thought process has changed-improved in recent years.
Would have been real easy to have the pic composed more like this

Good Friday Morning GSR! Hopefully everyone had a great holiday...
But now it is time to vote.
First, the theme by Rich:
That's it folks...
Seven entries this week. (Assuming I didn't miss any and Photobucket is behaving)
It was a holiday week, with a tough theme....
So thanks to everyone that took the time to play.

I kind of thought this theme might be a gamble and wasn't sure if many would be able to participate. Thanks to those that did. Good show. I love the creative interpretations. Got to vote for Burque73, for the Moon St. sign and the actual moon, in a good composition.
Good morning all,
Voting for Rich. Very nice image taken at a tough time to get a good overall exposure.

Vince I was thinking of doing the same.
Actually I was thinking of doing a mockup of the same: a person in the background, in position, but heavily pixelated.
Anyway, I call it fun.
I'm in for Rich, with props to Bob baatfam for a nice original moonpic, nicely framed, and then photographed for context.

Glad Vince's pic isnt any closer up.
Interesting to think of Roger Burque seeing the full moon and thinking of going over to Moon street to pose picture.
Only 8 entries, but with Rich and Dorkb'r and Baatfam it isnt easy to decide. Impressive elements in each pic.
By a thin margin over Bob Baatfam's I will vote for Rich's.

Bob, Tell us about the lighting on the wall and you. (seems to be different than the bike)
That lighting really adds depth, and seems to make the scene match the scene in the picture frame.
THe headlight seems to mimic the moon (would have more if all headlight was in the frame).

I'll vote for Burque's picture
Didn't mean to be a stick in the mud about the double moon, I overreacted there. I had to go early this morning to battle with the Ford stealership over a defective transmission in our car. Stressful morning, long day, but the short story is they bought the 2017 Focus back and now we drive a Kia.
Rich gets my vote for this week's pic.
