Capturing the Moon's Earthshine

What I love about crescent moons is the so called earthshine, which is a faintly visible illumination of the dark side of the moon. It's called earthshine because it's the Earth's reflected light cast on the night side of the moon. In the past three days, I observed the waxing crescent moon and took photos of it.

Beautiful Sunsets in Gensan

You're lucky if you can spot a gorgeous sunset, which can be elusive, because weather conditions don't always permit a nice, colorful sunset. I urge you to go out today and catch the sunset and appreciate the beauty it brings. You shall see some of the sunset photos I took. Keep in mind you don't need an expensive DSLR camera to capture the sunset. Use the camera you have or your smartphone's camera feature. Just point it and shoot. Then share your photos. Let your friends know you've captured one of nature's gifts.
