Ty Miss Peggy..I just know I’m gonna look for your beautiful photos all month

12. Thank you so much, my dear Deuxcents.........

I will try to oblige you with lots of moon photos, but you never know. It might be cloudy, after all.

Still, I'm glad that you saw my photo tonight, and that you enjoyed it.

Happy Birthday, ahead of time!

13. The New Moon By CaliforniaPeggy - Now With Words By Her Friends

A crescent of light - illuminates the night
A sensitive capture - 'so serenely beautiful'
'So cool' it shouts-out 'WOW' & 'Awww' and now
It might even be someone's 'birthday Snow Moon'

19. Wow! How absolutely delightful. Thnk you.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. I love your verse, my dear wyn borkins! You honor me and my photo. Thank you. ♥

14. Ooooh it's lovely! Like a tilted smile. I like how this time of year the crescent moon

appears like a smiley, then later in the year it is tilted more sideways like an archer's bow 🌛

Great photo CaliforniaPeggy!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. Thank you so much, my dear Ziggysmom!

Very thoughtful of you.

15. Was outside just after dark tonight, it was clear out and the crescent was spectacular.

The normal on the Oregon Coast would be cloudy and raining this time of year.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. How lucky for you, getting a break in the normal weather!

This photo was taken from a nearby local street, since my view of the west from my home is blocked by a lot of trashy trees.

It was definitely worth the drive!

18. A Photography Question

What cameras and size lens are you using? Your images of the moon have been exceptional.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. Glad to answer your question, my dear nwliberalkiwi!

It's the Olympus Mark IV camera with their 75--300 mm lens.

I also had turned on the 2x extender, which is integral to the camera. I was in Aperture preferred. Wide open lens, ISO 2000 and shutter speed 1/200 of a second.

And thank you for your very kind remarks!

31. Contact

I do not know how to contact you privately over the internet, but I have some photography information that you might like. I just don't like to spread my information all over the internet, and conversally protect you. I would like to get ahold of you.
Thank you.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. You can contact me privately right here on DU by sending a private message.

In the line next to your name, there's a row of icons: The third one from the left shows an envelope. If you hover your mouse over it, it says Send DU mail.

Click there and you'll see the form that looks a lot like these out here where we type our posts.

Fill it out and send, and I will get it.

Thank you!
