July 12, 2014 was the first supermoon of the year. A supermoon occurs when the moon is at its nearest to the Earth, called perigee of the moon. There are be 5 supermoons for 2014 - January 1, January 30, July 12, August 10, and September 9. This "bigger" than the ordinary fullmoon is what often fascinates people, including me, enough to spend a great amount of time staring at and taking a picture of it. Despite its bigness, however, a full moon is boring because it is flat. What I would do is to wait a day or two after the fullmoon when the slightly slanted sunlight reveals more details such as craters and valleys. The result is magnificent as it is breathtaking. I have a folder of moon shots in my FB page which somehow details my ongoing journey and fascination with the brightest light in the night sky. I see some magnificent moon shots throughout the Internet such those with buildings and towers and a big moon behind them. Slowly but surely, I hope to be able to take such pictures soon...
