Fly Me To The Moon
Can you see what I see? I attempted to take a picture of this waxing crescent moon one July night. I didn’t know what had gotten my mind when I saw it through my kitchen window. I just took the camera and shoot! I didn’t even see that moon in the picture at first and thought it was impossible to take a picture of a moon with a bare ordinary camera. But when I was browsing through for pictures to post, found this image again but now I could see a little spot at the center, then I realized it was the moon I took before. It must be my old monitor’s contrast that sometimes I see the images darker than normal.
“I want to have my own moon I can go to. There I’d stay till every trouble down on earth turns to peace. I want to have my own moon where I can sit on and do whatever I can.” It’s in the lyrics of a Swedish song that I’ve learned to sing during my first year of stay here. And it left me wondering how on earth could I have my own moon.

Even if you used an ordinary camera, kitang-kita yung earthshine or yung reflection ng Earth sa Moon ano?

Mhy,
A long time ago I wanted to be the First Pinoy to reach the moon and “let me play among the stars”. Kanta yun ah.

Congraduations and the moon capture! It’s hard to take a good moon photo with a snap shot.

Farah, thank you dear. And don’t you say banana tree is not a pretty sight. I had that kind of view from my window in Davao, and I so liked it waiting for the bananas to become yellow.

The title of the song is familiar, but I don’t remember how it goes. The only song I can by Savage Garden is Truly, Madly, Deeply.
