so, ok.
forever i've taken photos of the great big lovely moons that have floated over my life.
generally they've come out like a small white dot blazing away in a pitch black sky.
until this week.
in my blog feeds, i found instructions for shooting the moon.
AND IT WORKED!!
would have worked better if i'd had a different lens, but LOOK AT MY PHOTO.
you can see things on the surface of the moon.
details. maybe even the sea of tranquility.
i followed the link inside a post on what it means to be an everyday photographer.
and i took my trusty old 40D, not the new camera, set the settings and made tracks to the street in front of my house and walked until i had a good angle on that full moon.
yay! i'm glad it's still exciting to learn something new.
So glad you found CY365 and were able to get a great shot of the moon! You definitely can see details!
ReplyDeletei`VE JUST GONE THROUGH YOUR BLOG AND FOUND IT REALLY INTRESTING.

The other night when almost done with my walk I noticed a squirrel sitting straight up on its hind legs on top of an electrical wire. When my eyes focused a little better, I discovered to my glee it was not a squirrel but an owl looking straight at me, watching, as if I might be an extra large sized dinner. I didn't have my camera so I rushed home, got Johnson out of bed and headed back for a photo op which of course was no longer there. It probably wouldn't have made much difference because it was so dark. Now I walk with my camera in my pocket and my eyes up instead of down. If I fall in a hole I'll be able to take a picture of my broken leg!
