The Man in the Moon tonight

May 23, 2021

Marvelous clouds passing by the moon tonight. Lots of frogs and night noises coming from the woods. And when I loaded the shots onto my laptop, there he was! The man in the moon. Do you see him? No post processing, not even a crop.

Alas, I don't see the man in the moon. What I do see are magnificent clouds, full of color and varying thicknesses.

How did you get those clouds? I've tried to get my Nikon D3200 to work that way, and I'm not able to figure it out. And if it's your cell phone, I will scream! (I have an iPhone 11.)

At the lower right of the moon there is darkness, resembling an open mouth. Above it, the nose, and then above that two darker shapes like eyes, with the one on the right more pronounced.

Shot with my Canon G15.

... that's really interesting the way the gap among the clouds arcs perfectly around the right with the moon dead center.

That's what I just saw outside a few minutes ago!

Great shot, I love the light play in the clouds.

I see the face, looks like he's talking or something.
