Special moon this weekend

[Kevin Kehler]

On my drive home from work, the radio was discussing the full moon this weekend (May 5-6th specifically). On Saturday, the moon will be the closest it will be for more than a year and appear 16% larger and 30% brighter for North American audiences. Apparently, having a full moon during this close swing period (what the radio called it) is fairly uncommon and might provide some good pictures. My local weather forecast is for 100% cloud cover but thought someone else could take advantage of this.

Partly cloudy here on Saturday. Hint, catching the moon at moonrise will make the moon appear even larger.

Looks like rain Sat and Sun

Hmmm... I guess that explains why I was getting some hits from the last "supermoon" on my stock site. I'll have to strategize a little more for this one, if we'll have clear weather.

Looks like we'll have clear weather here in Japan, hopefully I'll remember to go shoot it!

We've had Tstorms here every day, but generally clearing at night. I'll be sharing it with a very special someone who's new in my life and interrested in photography too.
