The vanishing moon magic trick

Centuries ago, confidence trickster’s knowledgeable about the celestial events (often by almanac) would con lay persons into believing they possessed any number of magic abilities such as being able to see the future or that they could control the Sun or the Moon in the hopes of getting either money or power.

Last night, we were audience to one of these celestial events, as the moon was eclipsed by the earth which cast its massive shadow across the distant body for a short period.

Though I couldn’t convince our children that I can control the moon, as they were already asleep, I was able to capture some beautiful shots with my camera before heading off to sleep.

Playing with the Sun

Ok, so I couldn't resist going back to Milham Park for yet another photo shoot. This time, I had ideal lighting conditions, but I've tried not to repeat (at least not too much) previous shots that I've posted here. Since I'm starving for praise, I'll post these in the hopes that someone will love them as much as I do.
