Just thought it would be a cool share for some of you budding Photographers out there, Some of you may or may not know that tonight is what they call a super moon where for this 1 night the Moon is closest to the Earth than any other day of the year. Depending on where you are in the World (all though the fact is true no matter where you are it is closer than it ever is) It may be a great opportunity to get your camera out and maybe take some cool pics. And all though it may not be award winning Photography you may get a nice night sky to use in other images. I love Night Photography so Weather permitting ( I am not a die hard Photographer if it is raining I am not going out lol) I will be out there Hoping the clouds clear Taking wide angle lens and telephoto zoom lens for a tighter crop. I will also be using ND filters so I can reduce the light by a few stops and hopefully get some nice combinations of star trails, long exposures and light painting. SO yes I am going out with the intention to get a whole array of night photography challenges.
I am also going to try and get a nice skyline shot of my town with the moon in, should be challenging because of the light pollution.
So if anyone else feels they have the time and would also like to explore night photography here are some useful links to tips ideas and of course info on the moon tonight. (Note there is also a calculator in the moon link that shows you the time the moon rises and when it is at full size in your time zone)

Light Painting
General Night Photography Tutorial
Fun Light painting
And of course if you come up with anything you like then please do share them in this thread.
