Cloudy Defeat

Oh man, I purposely stayed up late to try and catch the moon before sunrise. I whiled away the time playing some solo firefight in Halo, I went out an hour after moonrise with tripod and Bigma mounted on my T2i and I saw the moon, with what I thought was an opportunity to catch it with the 1000mm lens instead. So I ran back inside and did a remarkably quick lens change, got back outside and tripod all set up and the moon slid behind a thick layer of clouds. DAMN! If I had only not been greedy and just done some 500mm shots I could have laid claim to another day in a row of shots. I don't think I'll get a chance again while it's dark, this cloud cover is moving south and when I went up front to see what the area to the north was like it was a giant wall of white, well orange which is the color clouds appear with San Jose light pollution. BAH! So goes the game of chance when trying to follow the moon. Now I really wish I had just gone to bed. I feel amped like I want to try and wait for a hole in the clouds but really, I should just get some sleep and continue my lunarcy in the morning. Maybe I can grab a cat nap and catch it just before dawn. Yeah right...
