The cow jumped over the moon!

Or rather... the GOAT Celestial Ram jumped nowhere near the moons, but just enough in front of Jode to get a pretty cool shot.

You get what you pay for, or something.

Cutting room floor:

...I just realized ESO used to classify the mount Rams as "Cervines" (recently changed "Rams and Goats", but ATOW, UESP still states "The Celestial Ram is a cervine mount"). By all appearances they're based on Bighorn Sheep: Bovidae, subfamily Caprinae... as in Capricorn, the goat, versus Aries, the ram... 😵

More proof that Tamrielic classification (of plants and animals alike) is probably done by a drunk Nord.

Sort of like drunk Europeans IRL – until they invented coffeehouses, which we can partly thank for the Enlightenment. Imagine if denizens of Tamriel drank less alcohol and more caffeine? Hmm.

As you can see, even with some post processing work, it’s still a little noisy and not as sharp as I would like. Lately our skies have been pretty cloud covered, so there haven’t been any visible afternoon moons. When…

The February Full Moon was Bright, High Above the Trees

The February Full Moon was Bright, High Above the Trees features an image of February’s bright full moon as it rose above the trees. It discusses the author/artist’s use of a telephoto lens to capture the shot.

Full Moon At the beginning of February we had a large, bright full moon. It seemed like a good opportunity to get in a little practice with my telephoto lens. I’ve been trying to get better at using it since it really is a vital tool for wildlife photography and using it we’ll definitely takes a little practice. Some of the photos I took of the moon were out of focus or had too much hand shake…
