Post your Moon Shots

[Jonathan]

Well done Jonathon. What lens?

Nikon 18-300mm at 300 which, with the 2X TC, gives me 600mm.

 

[Jonathan]

Agreed. Probably one of the best moon shots since I've been on the forum.

Thank you very much. I'm not too proud to say that I am bloody chuffed with it!

 

[Jonathan]

Taught him everything he knows

Funnily enough, your laid back artistry and skill does make me try harder. I also find I've started hunting for photos to fit the various stickies on here, which is equally satisfying and stretching. By that I mean that whilst looking around I'll think "that'll make a great cloudscape" or "that'll look good as a sunset". I enjoy, and appreciate, those almost passive challenges this forum tosses out at me.

For us Americans in the audience...

chuffed: /CHəft/ adjective 1.very pleased. "I'm dead chuffed to have won"

Let me be the first to congratulate you on your chuffing.

Funny, my father used to cuff me regular and he never seemed pleased.

Hope Scott's happy with the way your putting the skills he taught you to use

I thought I was going to capture a little blue sky but it became darker much faster than what I anticipated.

Ah yes now I see your teleconverter listed. Whatever is on that moon at the bottom is fascinating. It almost looks like a navel orange!

Funny you say that Ambient, I always think Cantaloupe when I see shots like this.

The conjunction of the three major craters, Tycho, Longomontanus, and Maginus (the largest of the three at 120 miles across)

For what it is worth (which ain't much)

Someone's left the lights on.

Great shot, by the way.

Yeah -- had to check that there wasn't something odd with the camera, but it's there alright -- must be a moon madness party.

And thank -- hoping for better tonight, as it has been very dry and breezy today.

Looking forward to making some proper use of my new-ish telescope for some really funky space shots.

 

[wev]

Still about 10% haze, but this is better, I think, than last night. I will try again later

 

[Moab Man]

Hazy conditions tonight, took down the sharpness. However, a student at school needed a photograph of the moon from tonight so here it is.

An hour or so later, hand-held

The moon had a golden yellowish color early evening (Japan time).
