Just Once
Arriving at work early one summer morning I photograph a "Blue Moon" on the HSC Campus. When there are two full moons in one month, the second one is called a Blue Moon. I'm told the next Blue Moon will be in 2015. August 2012
It is very difficult to photograph the moon. For this one, I sat down at a picnic table and steadied my camera on my camera bag. The street light gave me a little boost. The photo was not anything special until I added a "Poster Edge" filter in Photoshop.
I was so tickled when I looked through my celestial items to find a clay mold of a gorgeous moon collection. While I may have baked the blue clay a little too long, I loved the slightly burned tone. I added a Sculpey glaze to the pieces.
The circular stamps were made using a wine cork!
"Just once in a very blue moon........I feel one coming on soon" are words from a song by Nancy Griffith, a beautiful songstress. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
