I was somewhat disappointed last night, seeing shots from around the world of the fantastic moon because here at home the cloudy skies meant that I got barely a glimpse.
Tonight however it was different story at least for a short while as the sky was cloud free for just long enough to get a few decent shots. I know that I have posted pictures of the moon before but it's hard to resist so I hope you enjoy these.
Yesterday there was a brilliant full moon and a clear sky (apart from a few wispy clouds) and so I thought I would try out a few shots. In the past when I have taken pictures of the moon I have never quite got the settings right and when I enlarge the images they appear grainy. This time however I think I have got it just about right and I think these are the best moon shots I have taken and definitely worth sharing. I love the detail in these pictures and I think the wispy clouds add some atmosphere (pun intended!).
I've tried taking pictures of the moon before but now with my new lens I will be able to get some much better images than previously. The picture above was taken on Saturday evening, the last time we had a cloud free sky. It was taken hand held too so perhaps isn't as sharp as it could have been but its good enough. I am sure that I will take a few more in the weeks and months ahead, as long as we have some clear skies.
