The fig tree in the neighbours garden has been attracting Fruit Bats - Grey Headed Flying Foxes. These bats have a wing-span of over 1 m and tend to be very noisy, rather bad tempered, a bit on the smelly side and very bad (and I do mean bad) for the paint-work on your car. (It must be all the fruit!)
While watching them I noticed that the moon was doing rather interesting things to the clouds - so, setting the ISO on the camera to high - I was basically photographing in the pitch black - I took some pictures. Tried to do the "bat and moon" thing, but could not manage a really good effort - however the forth picture here does have a bat in it! (If only just!)
I like the way the clouds seem to boil out from the moon.

You also have some splendid shots, I really like shot 1, "unreal colours' and my favourite; power lines.
ReplyDeleteWonderful variety of sky textures! Especially love the first and third photos with the rumble of cloud colour round the moon!
ReplyDeleteI love your moon shots in the boiling clouds, especially the one with the bat. It's very hard to capture bats in flight so I think you deserve a pat on the back ;-)
ReplyDeleteohhh I love when the moon and clouds work together like that - makes for such a brilliant looking image. Glad you got some photos, very nice!
