Full Harvest Moon 2009

Full Harvest Moon October 4, 2009

About 21 photographers attended this full moon shoot.

Here's what a few had to say:

“ There was quite a crowd and as a result we drew another crowd of curious onlookers. Unfortunately the horizon was blocked with clouds so we didn't see the moon until it was several degrees into the sky, but it was huge and a very interesting color. ” - Carolyn Shafer

“ It's a great group. Each time I go, I met someone new, or get to know someone better and I learn something. That's what it's all about isn't it? ” - Peter H. Connelly

"What a gorgeous night to be taking pictures.” - Linda Leonard

Harvest Moon Celebration

In China and throughout many Asian countries people celebrate the Harvest Moon on the 15th day of the eighth month of their lunar calendar. The date in the Western calendar changes yearly. This year, it falls on Saturday, October 3, 2009.

The Harvest Moon or Mid-Autumn Festival (Zhong Qiu Jie) is a day of family reunions much like a Western Thanksgiving. Chinese people believe that on that day, the moon is the roundest and brightest signaling a time of completeness and abundance. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, children are delighted to stay up past midnight, parading multi-colored lanterns into the wee hours as families take to the streets to moon-gaze.

It is also a romantic night for lovers, who sit holding hands on hilltops, riverbanks and park benches, captivated by the brightest moon of the year!
The festival dates back to the Tang dynasty in 618 A.D., and as with many celebrations in China there are ancient legends closely associated with it.

In Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore, it's sometimes referred to as the Lantern Festival, (not to be confused with a similar celebration during the Chinese New Year), but whatever name it goes by, the centuries-old festival remains a beloved annual ritual celebrating an abundance of food and family.

“ This was my first Photo walk so I had a really exciting time. I took lots & lots of pictures & I got a few good ones I liked but definately need MORE practice. Thank you to Boris for lending me his tripod, I really appreciated that...I would definately have struggled without it. It was lovely to meet everyone. ”

Helen Charlton

“ THANKS TO ALL the members that showed up for the outing! I believe we will come up with some EXCITING images! I also THANK all the members that continue to rate the meetings and give your input.

I will try to schedule a few more outings earlier for the members that don't enjoy the DARK, but you NIGHT DWELLERS don't worry, there will also be MORE outings that will "LIGHT UP THE NIGHT"

Local Kelby Walk Winning Photo Selected

On Saturday, July 18th, over 32,000 amateur and professional photographers in 900 cities all around the world participated in the Second Annual Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photo Walk. This photo walk was a social photography event where photographers gathered on this one chosen day at a specific time in a pre-determined site in their town or city across the United States and throughout the world, to walk around, shoot photos, and capture images that are unique to their part of the world. Each city’s photo walk was limited to 50 participants, who are allowed to submit two of their best images shot on that day for judging by their individual city’s Photo Walk leader. The leader and organizer of the Vero Beach Photo Walk was professional photographer J. Scott Kelly, owner of Island Images Professional Photography Studio, Inc., founder of Adventure Photography and Photo Walks of Vero Beach, and co-owner and photography director of Southeast Gallery of Photographic Art, whose own images, according to the event rules, were not eligible for consideration in the worldwide competition.

"Buena VIsta" by Tara Gilligan

Fifty photographers from our area converged along Ocean Drive in Vero Beach at sunrise on that day to capture amazing images of our little slice of paradise. It’s hard to go wrong with such beautiful scenery as your subject, which only makes the selection process that much harder – both for the photographer selecting their favorite two images and for the city’s Photo Walk leader, who has the awesome responsibility of having to choose only one winning photograph to submit to the Kelby Media Group for judging at the worldwide level.

Twenty-nine spectacular images were submitted by our Vero Beach Photo Walk participants for a chance to advance to the worldwide contest. Take a look at our local images by visiting www.worldwidephotowalk.com/vero-beach-fl-usa/. The winning image chosen to represent Vero Beach was a photograph of the sunrise framed by a doorway, entitled “Buena Vista” by Tara Gilligan. Tara lives in Sebastian with her husband and two children. She has been perfecting her photography skills by attending monthly photography outings as a member of the local Adventure Photography and Photo Walks group.

Tara’s winning photograph has been entered in the worldwide competition where one grand prize winner and ten honorable mention winners will be chosen. The grand prize winner will receive a prize package valued at $11,000, with the honorable mention prizes being valued at $1,600 each. The winners in the worldwide competition will be announced on August 17th on the Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk website, which is www.worldwidephotowalk.com You may also view the images taken around the world on the Photo Walk at that same website.

Congratulations to Tara on her winning image and best of luck in the worldwide competition.
