Capturing The Moon

Soul Rebel · Feb 16, 2006

I was bummed the other day and this was the first time I had looked at these photos. This was one of 2 that turned out alright.

Thanks for looking....

Absolutely no need to be bummed.
This is a very nice capture of the moon. Well exposed, too. It clearly is the moon and not just a white blob in the sky (which was what my first attempts to capture the moon were in the end... :roll: ) - and I sure love the framing! I mean that of the trees around the moon

. And you observed the "self-help rule" to try and capture the moon while the sky is still bright. Everything works here! Congratulations.

I find the moon to have a lot more power when its up there in a nice semi-bright sky. Sure it looks great at night but there is nothing like sitting there at 6-7 with the sun just going down, enough light to see just fine, and the moon sitting up there in all its glory. Honestly, I think its one of my favorite sights.
