To The Moon...

Post by Indy »

Nice clear sky this afternoon, so I took this shot of the moon low in the sky...

No HDR in this one, just an exposure drop of 1/3rd, and subsequent cropping :)

Got a really nice and clear shot last night of the full moon. From what I read, it's nearly as close to the earth as it was last month during the full moon, which was good for some really good pictures :)

How did you get the second photo so clear?

75-300 telephoto lens, on a tripod, with a 10 second timer to ensure there was no movement on the tripod when the shutter snapped :)
