Really gorgeous! Thank you for sharing these

Great photos DemoTex. Thanks for sharing them. That second one of the black and white 'floating moon' is my favorite.

Have you visited Colorado and appreciated her beauty?

But not since certain substances became legal. I'm a big fan of Durango, and southern Colorado.

mac

and there's a little village close to mid-south Colorado that's an art colony called Crestone. You might appreciate it.

These are among the very best of all of your pictures.


The. Very. Best.

Damn.

Greatest Page for you, babe.

I try. God knows, I try. (That's what my mamma used to say when I provoked her, which was often!)

I used to provoke mine too.

You're trying to make up from your hell-raising rebel-rousing times of your youth!

Just in different ways.

I truly enjoy doing that.

Love you!

Just look downthread at my reply to DemoTex for proof.

I am scandalized beyond words.......well, er.....almost.

After the controversy related to a certain member last week it's surprising that they can find anybody to take on this assignment, yet alone anybody that is available for the graveyard shift.

Has DU lowered its standards by letting me be a host--possibly, that could be a meta thread itself. I think that Skinner gives me some leeway since I post cat pictures.

Sometimes I can be pretty wicked...

I just wanted to spice up one of the threads tonight and provide it some extra kicks. I couldn't resist having some fun because of the title of this thread. A little innuendo is a good thing, a big innuendo is also known as a whopper.

I do love a little innuendo, myself...

Good night, my dear TexasTowelie!

Thanks!

No posting of moon shots or other pornography on DU since it is a TOS violation. Next time use a NSFW warning!

People could construe it and get confused with moon shots vs mooning shots, or perhaps pot shots vs moon shots, or perhaps....

I could do a "selfie" moon shot. Scare the hell out of everybody on DU! Get banned. And get the BIG TS - remember these?



"Lonstar" was the first DUer I saw get TSed. May 2001, a week or so after Will Pitt and I joined DU.

Bragging about your tripod. And you're remote--yeah we know that you're looking out for forest fires, but that is no excuse.

Guess what buddy? All of us guys have tripods, but we don't have to proclaim it in public on DU. Who are you trying to impress?

Next thing you'll boast about is that you got a selfie stick. Please spare us the details because you'll fail to measure up.

I have a big Manfrotto mono-pod too. But when I get a selfie stick, just send the guys in white for me. Put me out of my misery.

what's all this talk about the Moon?

He is the one that wants to test the boundaries of morality on DU. I'm just thinking about the children.

You have a real eye and true talent for photography, either way.

I'd say don't stop taking photos, but I have a feeling it's in your blood.

I prefer to stay a retired airline pilot, and a damn good USFS fire lookout. That makes it easier to take professional quality landscape photos. But it has been in my blood since I got my first camera in about 1958 at age ten.

But I support my professional photographer friends. Most are better than I am, anyway. I won't scab them. I'm former union. ALPA (AFL-CIO). I do sell work, and report it to the IRS. But that is too rare to call myself a professional photographer.

And your photography talent. Your hobby suits you. I know professionals with less of a natural eye, and much less time under their belts. I have a feeling you could have made a living at it if you'd chosen to. However, it's not an easy living, and it sounds as if you found a very good niche for yourself in life, which suited you just fine. We should all be so fortunate!

I'm glad you're able to share you're lovely photos with an audience. Too often talented "hobbyist" work never gets shared, and is lost to the masses. Which is a real shame in my opinion.

To the work you have for sale?

Would appreciate it. Thanks.

See #15.

And a host of others. Too many now to name.

Like others noted, The Floating Moon.

It's got a science fiction feel.

I didn't like the color version. So I pulled it into my NIK PS plugin, Silver Effex Pro. Great results.

Thank you so much for sharing them here! I LOVE your moon shots. I've loved a whole bunch of your photo threads for quite awhile! Just stunning!

They are all, every one of them, evocative of peace and tranquillity.

Love'em!

That first one is breathtaking! I love the fire outlook photo, too.

Thanks for sharing them.

You're one heck of an artist.
