• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Kind of liked this wide-angle shot showing the sun and moon.

Took a flight from Danville to Smith Mountain on the A2A Piper Cub. Took 45 minutes, but that's what low and slow is all about. Who'd want to go fast on a clear day like today?

Cheezy, it is a waning gibbous moon as it actually appears if you were up early this morning, meaning it is between full and last quarter. The wide-angle aspect distorts the moon and makes it look pinched.

Hmmm I don't see the moon at all....Is it a shrunk pic for me or something?
 
That's the problem with large screenshots (1600 x 1000) - you're probably using a smaller monitor Harleyman. Try scrolling to the right, or at worst, right click the image and save it to your PC. If you open it there, you should see a resized version that will fit on your monitor.

Alternative #1 @ the forum mods - does your forum software not have a resize function? Oh - I see it is a photobucket image, OK

Alternative #2 @ Cazzie and other image posters using Photobucket - use the thumbnail option to post your images. That way they are opened in a new browser window and sized to fit. (with an option to click for full size)

Or of course Alternative #3 - upload your image using the Forum tool "Attach Files" when you write the message in "advanced mode"

[edit] Oh yes, I almost forgot, Cazzie. Lovely screenie! I like that touch of fish-eye. [/edit]

i wasn't up early this morning because i was up late last night flying :icon_lol:
of course that's no excuse for my moon mislabeling.
my excuse for that is, i believed something i found by googling. :173go1:
 
Ya, at first I was looking everywhere in the screenie for the moon. Even checked out the cockpit windows to make sure it wasn't that kind of moon then I scrolled right and Yep, there it is.
nice shot cazz.
