Looking for light at 2 am

[mnhtnbb]

I woke up about 2 am--which I have been doing a lot of recently--and noticed some fabulous clouds lit up by the moon out my bedroom window. Could there be an upside to insomnia?

So I got up, got the camera, went out on the balcony, and started shooting. Thought maybe I'd get something for the upcoming contest. Didn't get anything better than what I'm planning to enter, but the configuration of clouds--and lighting--in this shot made me think it's Sunday and LOL cats will be coming soon.


The title for this shot is Meow Moon. Do you see it?

I see I’m not the only one awake at weird hours

[mnhtnbb]

It's getting tiresome. I was able to get back to sleep for awhile.

Seriously a great picture!

12. Wow, yeah I do. Do you watermark your work...this will get stolen PDQ

[mnhtnbb]

16. I used to

but I haven't had any success selling work. Plus the free image hosting site I use has temporarily taken down the editing option so I could add a signature.

13. Beautiful Moon Kitty!!

14. It was the cow with the fiddle

and the cat jumped over the moon.

I always knew that nursey rhyme was wrong. Everyone knows cats jump better than cows.

15. LOL

17. Every once in a while...

the Sky Kitty shows herself to let us know she's really there, third eye-beam and all!

18. I do see it, my dear mnhtnbb!

Superb shot.

Yes, insomnia does have its uses!

20. This is amazing

a phenomenal catch. Did you see it right away?

[mnhtnbb]

21. I only saw it when I was looking through shots

on my laptop. Too busy trying to focus and shoot as the light was changing and clouds were moving to notice it at the time.

22. It's simply wonderful.

Happy New Year to you!
