So much for Super Moon... I went out yesterday to Red Hook to photograph the super moon, but I only got a few mundane shots. The wind was whipping up at 30 miles an hour and the tripod was not stable under those conditions, so I got mostly motion blur. But she was a beautiful moon. She was that lovely orange red color, but I must admit she didn't visually appear that much larger. As a super moon she would be %18 closer to the earth, but I guess that would effect gravitational pull.
I did see more crazy stuff on the street over the past few days, including a screaming woman knocking over peoples garbage, pounding on car windows and yelling that "Jesus is a son of a bitch". I guess super moon's effects are to be felt not seen.
Above is one sort of decent shot I took, and of course some shots from the web. Including this cheesy video from NASA explaining the phenomena.
