G+ Photowalk May 4-7: Yosemite National Park
G+ Photowalk May 4-7: Yosemite National Park - A World Heritage Site, one of the world's most incredible landscapes - Lunar rainbows ("moonbows") - waterfalls at peak flow - dogwood trees blooming by the Merced River - Spring wildflowers - reflections in Spring pools & the Merced River - full moon night landscapes The second photowalk in my series this Spring, again coinciding with the full moon to maximize shooting opportunities, will be to Yosemite National Park. This is one of the most spectacular landscapes in the world, and with lunar rainbows and night, full waterfalls, and wildflowers and trees blooming, this is arguably the best weekend of the year to visit. Feel free to RSVP or ask questions here, or for more information in a post which won't get buried, I've set up a post under a new Yosemite page at this link, where I'll maintain all the latest logistical details: https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/116372553458318494396/116372553458318494396/posts/ct...
Jared Mysko Did I miss something, who said "back side"? What's amazing is that the side of the moon not directly illuminated by the sun (which we are looking at here) becomes fairly bright, due to earthshine!
ReplyDeleteJared Mysko I´m not sure if I understood you when you mentioned the Pacific Ocean in this context? :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, he mentioned the night side. And thats the side not illuminated... Which does rotate every 28 days.
ReplyDeleteSemantic twists: "Dark side of the moon", certainly since Pink Floyd, has become to be understood as the "back side". We think of sides of circular shapes as front and back, like a coin, even though there is really no "side" whatsoever to a sphere. Dark 'area' might have not elicited that comment, but not nearly as button-pushing as 'dark side'. :)
ReplyDeleteI once did a piece of music called "Dark Side of the Sun", in a reference and further twist of the concept of 'dark side of the moon'.
Fantastic image !
how did you do it？
ReplyDelete詹姆斯邦德 wow ... Chinese character set names are very difficult to address using "+" ! ( I had to copy and paste the characters ). That shot of the moon is a long exposure of the moon illuminated by 'Earth shine' -- the light reflected from the Earth which faintly illuminates 'the dark side of the moon' (as it faces us between the Earth and the Sun )
ReplyDeleteOh My God！You are an astronomer
