Yep. I'll try again if the weather cooperates. No that yet another moon pic is 
of value, but it's fun. I might use my A2X-S converter rather than the DA 1.4 X 
to get to 900mm.

I read that next month's full moon will be even closer & subsequently
appear even larger.

It's a lovely moon shot.

I was driving home last evening just as it was rising through the
trees as I headed down the expressway. It was a HUGE liquid disk of
Moon rising through light haze and some clouds into clear air …
absolutely fabulous to see! I felt the urge to pull out the 600mm and

Thanks Godfrey. The closer to the horizon, the more interesting the atmospheric 
effects, but sharpness is lost. I just shot when I happened to notice that the 
moon was visible from my front yard, but I think I lucked out in getting some 
of the close to the horizon color but not a lot of atmospheric distortion.

I was driving home last evening just as it was rising through the trees as I

I think a little bit past full gives a better photograph anyway. Adds a
little bit of texture that's often missing from a full moon photo.

I like Moon pictures and it's an excuse to get a big mirror lens out. A couple 
of my friends have taken Moon pictures recently and applied filters or 
otherwise modified them in Lightroom. Whilst they look unusual, they don't look 
right. The Moon looks good as it is. Nice image right here.

Looking at the data it's about a 2.4 stop push, so about ISO 4000, and it' s a 
tight crop. I shot some at f8 that are more like ISO 1000, but I like this one 
better.

Good image. Not excessive, but seems slightly grainy.
Perhaps due to a one stop under exposure?

Moon pics are too easily executed to count as good photos, but they’re also a 
lot of fun. A day late on this one, as the moon is now waning, but we were 
socked in yesterday. What’s more, I was watching football and was undoubtedly 
overserved. But we get another chance in November, when the moon will be even a
