There is the saying once in a blue moon which can have multiple meanings I guess, at its most basic term it could be that the moon occasionally looks blue or a tinge of blue, but it more often means something like
To do something “once in a blue moon” is to do it very rarely, like catching a shot of a plane flying past a full moon
well I will be honest I was not lucky enough to catch a plane flying past the moon when I got these shots and neither was the moon blue, this is edited in photoshop with the plane silhouette added
so let me tell you the story of this shot and show the real shots I got, starting with the lens I used to get this shot, which I show in this next shot

This is the Sony 200-600mm G lens which I just recently got, not a cheap lens and one I wasn't really thinking of getting but my wife felt after our move we deserved a treat for each other and she convinced me to get this lens and I must say I do love it and have used it a couple of times, one time I won't go into now but it will be for a future post, and then on the full moon a couple of nights ago I tried it out and am fairly happy with these shots, now it would have been cool if a plane had really flown by or if there was some building I could have used in the shot to have more than just the moon.
Next up a regular shot of the mon, nothing added and no color changes

I took a few shots of the moon and it was nice to be able to zoom in a bit closer than i could with my previous longest lens on this camera which was the sony 24-240mm Lens, but I will only share two shots I got that night, and the edits

and the last shot for this post is where i edited the moon a blue tinge as I often do with my mono edits, it was only now as I prepared this post I decided to play around and add the plane silhouette

BEER.Amazing photos and sorry been a while to say hi.
thanks and no worries I have been absent for a long time
Where can I get such a wife, @tattoodjay? ;)
LOL, well she did get a few things as we'll :)
Can they be expressed in millimeters as well? I mean, what lens did she chose? ;)
LOL hers was a point and shoot camera, a new computer and some other bits and pieces lOL
Love your edited shot, but love the regular ones as well. The details of the moon are amazing.
Did she get a prize too?
thanks and yes she did get a few things :)
how are you dear friend @tattoodjay good afternoon
What beautiful images, I loved the edition of your photographs, you have an enviable equipment, dear friend. that you enjoy them a lot
I appreciate that you show us these beautiful photographs and all the information
have a beautiful sunday
thanks and you to have a great day
Beautiful shot @tattooedjay. Also I love the Airbus A320. (could be a A319) you put in. I moderate a pretty exclusive private aerospace forum group on facebook that would think thats one hell of a spiffy photo you got there. Even if it is a bit photoshopped.
Nice job!
I was wondering if anyone would know what type of plane it was I only knew however because of when I downloaded the image it said it was an airbus LOL
Nice shot man.
I have a friend who did a similar tint on a mono pic with sun off water. Stunning and I don’t throw that word around.
thanks so much truly appreciate such a kind comment
Wow! Beautiful pictures! Congrats on the awesome new lens!
Thanks and I am loving the new lens even though it is pretty heavy LOL
Wow! Impressive shots! You’ll soon see some UFOs one day! Then your post would go viral! No photoshop!! Those aliens like their own selfies!
Cheers.
That would be cool to catch a UFo one day, you never know 😂
Awesome shots. You have a very powerful camera. Jolly super!
Thanks and yes I am very happy with my camera setup :)
Oh man, I was so happy to see that photo with the plane JJ, as you know that I have a few of them with a plane in front of the moon.
But it is a great edit and good to see your honesty, as many would pass that plane shot off as the real thing.
A lovely posy and you have not lost that special JJ touch.
Blessings!
Thanks I hope one day I will be lucky enough to catch a plane silhouette in the moon, but till then I had fun with this one and I am just that way I have to admit when its an edit and not the real shot :)
Hahaha, only joking with you mate, but if it's meant to happen it will happen.
You did that photo very well and congrats once again.
We are all what they call "old school" and I like to think that we will stay that way lol.
Blessings!
Ohh yeah I don’t think we want to or will ever change
Totally agreed my friend, it's in our bones!
👍🙂👍
Wow, that lens looks a lot bigger and heavier than my Sigma, and as I can see on the photos it's a really great lens - I believe you that it makes a lot of fun 😀
The composite looks great JJ, and if you didn't say it I wouldn't have thought it is "only" a composite.
I wish you a great Sunday JJ ☀️
Cheers and !BEER

it is heavier than the contemporary sigma but lighter than the sport model, I for sure wont be going for long walks with it lOL
Cheers and !BEER
!tip
I have already had a look, of course 😉 and it is quite a lot heavier than mine, especially when you take it for a hike or a long walk 😉 but it's certainly the much better lens.
I have changed my Steem for Bitcoin and wanted to buy one of the new RF lenses for my Canon, but I didn't. Now I wait for the Hive price to go down that I can buy enough to become an Orca 😁 … and then the Hive should moon 😆
Cheers and !BEER
!invest_vote
It is pretyt impressive and being native Sony works well with my camera, lets hope Hive goes tot he moon before to long ;)
We said the same about the Steem, but I think it's different this time … I hope 😉
Cheers and !BEER
We can but hope 👍🙂👍Cheers and !BEER
Good morning JJ and yes, we are hoping again 😉

I love the changes and the plane of course just adds character. Good job Jay.
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
Have a great day
So my Dad when he was still around, and once in a while when he felt like it, would sing a song that goes like this... "Blue Moon... you saw me standing alone... without the love of my life..." then I forgot the next lines.
I saw the first photo and it brought back memories of my Dad instantly! So thank you, my dear friend.
But... it also reminded me of the movie ET!!!
WOW, that is a large lens for your camera! And what a great treat and reward for a successful move! Yes, you deserve it, and what was the treat for mrs @tattoodjay, my friend? A new purse, a scarf, a pair of earrings, a hat?
Missing all your awesome photos, and looking forward to the next ones!
Have a beautiful Sunday, and take care 🥰🌺🤙.
I know the song and glad my photo brought back nice memories
My wife got a few things a point and shoot camera new computer and other buts and pieces
!tip
Wait... did you say..."shoot camera, new computer and other buts and pieces"?🤔😂
Ohh yeah I did she did well also :)
Hey, great to see you back! I have been on a bit of a two week vacation myself. I hope everything is well with you. Great photos of course!
I have no idea why I thought I commented on this one when I obviously did not... I came back to look at the blue moon and how you did it, and couldn't find it anywhere. There I go thinking again.
This is such an incredible lens! I know that they are quite heavy, some anyway. It is a challenge for me to carry a heavy lens for hours and hours. I love the edits and especially the plane! :)
Thanks for sharing with us!

Ohh yeah its pretty heavy I think 2.5 lbs if i remember correctly, but I will often use it on a tripod so don't have to hold up that weight for too long lOL
Many times I am hauling it through the fields and hiking uphill to photograph something. I was actually talking about carrying it as opposed to the tripod.
Tripod indeed! You are right about that!
well if and when sports start here I plan to use that to capture a coupleof the extended family who play, but i may well take it on walks from time to time
I can only imagine the sports shots! I need to get out for some too. I have gotten out of the habit with the work schedule. :(
Will be interesting to see if the school sports go ahead this year, may be something for next year
I hope your work schedule settles down soon for you
You know, just like everything else in life, it will figure its way out.
I know that here, there will be no school sports in the Fall, however, they are hoping and scheduling their return for December. I'm not sure it will even happen then, but, it is something to look forward to, especially with young people. Many are having a hard time grasping all of this. Unless death is right on their doorstep, and, even then, it could never happen to them.
You will find something else to shoot if that doesn't start. I know you. :) But, the Northeast has been a little bit less quick to close and quicker to open. I am sure we will get this all figured out.

The effect of the plane flying past the 'blue moon' is fantastic. Maybe next time you just might be at the right place and right time taking a shot with a plane flying by. Thank the Lord for editing, hahaha
I can but hope that one day I will catch a plane flying by the moon
Have a great day
That is a really nice camera set up you have with that amazing lens something i hope to work towards getting it makes you appreciate photography even more and your photos are just awesome love the editing 👍
Thanks, I am happy with my setup now so I think I wont be able to buy anything more with a retirement budget thanks for your visit
It all looks fine and quite enough to keep you happily clicking away for a while 😊
ohh yes for sure :)
Enjoy and have fun experimenting 👍
👍🙂@kohsamui99
Incredible shot, then using a proper lens, tripod and camera, some patience sprinkled on top and great effects using a touch up in colour.
Ingenious finding a plane to fit perfectly giving the blue moon effect. We don't get the big planes coming in close anymore, sadly I did not photograph when they did either, too busy with life and bringing up children.
Have an amazing week, good to see you tweaking photography once again!
its frustrating but reality how life get in the way of what we would like to do LOL
Isn't it, I have bookkeeping to do and continually falls on the back-burner... 😄
I cant understand it falling on the back burner
That is really interesting capture, I like the blue conversion and added plane. Nice creative work @tattoodjay
thanks it was fun to play around with that shot ;)
Have a great day
