The last New Year's Eve blue moon was in 1990.
There will not be another until 2028.
However you welcomed in the New Year - or even if you didn't - I wish you all a Peaceful, Healthy and Happy 2010!

I love your blue moon shots. Great shots of the blue moon.
ReplyDeleteWe had clouds and rain last night so we couldn't see the moon.
What a shame Eileen but thank you. The clouds were scudding so quickly across our sky that we were lucky to get any shots at all!
ReplyDeleteThese are great moon shots! I missed seeing the blue moon last night, and this is the only one I've seen posted. Thanks for showing it. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol - my pleasure :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the beautiful blue moon shots and the education. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteGreat moon shots, the sort I have been trying to capture for ages! What camera and setting are you using, I wonder....
ReplyDeleteThankyou for sharing these lovely photo's Janice. Very best New Year wishes to you, Barry and the family, from Sylvia, John and Jack.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the blue moon shots. I ignored it all and now am sorry. :D
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year.
This is the first photo of a blue moon I've ever seen--fantastic shot! We had clouds covering the sky last night, so didn't see it. Thanks for sharing it! Happy New Year.
ReplyDeletePamela - thank you:-)
ReplyDeleteMargaret - Barry took these through the glass roof of the conservatory (it was COLD outside!)
He used his Canon EOS 5D MkII
The first shot was 1/100 sec at f5.6 ISO 3200 with a 300 mm lens f4 with 1.4 extender. Shots 2 and 3 were 1/13 sec at f5.6 ISO 3200 with a 420 mm lens f4L with 1.4 extender. The last one was the same but for 1/60 sec exposure. Hope that makes sense - me, I just point, shoot and hope for the best ;-)
Sylvia - thank you! I hope you and John have a happy and healthy New Year and that Jack's skin has cleared up, poor little dog!
Lynn, Pat - thank you! Happy 2010 to you as well.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots of the moon.
ReplyDeleteWish you Happy & Prosperous New Year.
Wonderful photos of the Blue Moon. It was cloudy here too so I didn't get any shots nearly as clear as yours! Thanks for sharing ;-)
ReplyDeleteMay the new decade bring you and yours joyful opportunities and experiences!
Hugs and blessings,
We couldn't see the moon for heavy snow fall last night. I love your shots, the first one really is blue. Happy New Year Janice.
ReplyDeleteAwesome blue moon pictures. No bad for me, I wanted to take pictures, as well, but rain and clouds fill the skies here. Have a Happy New Year, and thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteRajesh, storyteller - thank you.
ReplyDeleteChris - thank you. I hope you're not completely snowbound. It looks beautiful but can be a nuisance.
Ivon - thank you. Bad luck about the rain and clouds - we've had plenty of those too :-)
Beautiful moon shots Janice. I did see it around 3.30am - stunning!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and all your family.
Thank you Elcmae - the compliments of the season to you and yours, too :-)
