How many hundreds of these shots of the full moon have we seen? While such a photo may show of the skill of the photographer, or the quality of the gear, artistically and creatively there's little substance to such pics. A more interesting shot would be if there were something else in the frame, perhaps a horizon, or a skyline, or perhaps it could be more interesting if only a portion of the moon was shown in an upper corner. Or maybe a shot taken earlier in the evening, when the light was brighter, the sky more colorful, the moon more "transparent" or lower to the horizon so some other natural elements could be included in the shot. BTW, I'm not picking on you or anyone who wants to make such a photo, I'm just wishing for more and hoping that some of the people with long lenses who make such photos might want to try something a little more creative, unusual, and interesting.
