The Flower Moon was in full bloom last evening. The first of the full moons in May, it’s called the Flower Moon because it appears when the spring flowers are starting to blossom.

It’s also called a micro moon because it is also the furthest distance from earth at this time of year.

This was captured with Nikon’s superzoom P1100 COOLPIX camera, handheld, at 2800mm equivalent zoom, ISO 360 and at a shutter speed of 1/500sec.

Let me know in the comments below your thoughts of the photo and if you have the Nikon COOLPIX P1100 camera.

I decided to take a look at the site Flight radar 24 to see if anything interesting was approaching the Boise Idaho area. Wow, what luck! Not one but 2 Airbus A380s, the world’s largest passenger airplanes, were heading straight for Idaho.

Robert G Allen Photography takes delivery of the most powerful Nikon camera ever (with sample images)

At some point, I will be done with my event photography business. And when that happens, I plan on exploring other photography topics more fully (that I have been putting on hold due to time constraints) such as food, landscapes and sports. Along with my plan on taking more sports photos, I thought I would expand my Nikon mirrorless camera body portfolio with a body that aligns more closely with that goal.
