I managed to do that to a small degree with the previous post. The thin clouds made for some additional interest in the image. The best of the shots was a little overexposed. Thought I work to correct that with this one. It's not bad. The moon itself is better exposed and looks more natural, but  it lacks the interest the clouds provided. I do like the phases that have a terminator, as I find the shadows are a compelling feature for me.Wish I had a longer lens for this. I cropped it pretty severely, and ran it through enhance to get this. I may try this lens on a crop sensor camera and see if the additional magnification, with a similar MP rating will help. Perhaps it will, perhaps not. [ATTACH=full]377614[/ATTACH]This is the same scene shot with a little more exposure and processed to retain some of the blue sky. It was shot near sunset, when the sky was still blue. The moon does not have as much detail in it, not sure why. Perhaps because the original was a little overexposed. Perhaps I missed something in post processing. Perhaps the longer shutter speed introduced some vibration. The later is the most likely. I could probably process the first picture to preserve the blue sky and still have more detail. [ATTACH=full]377617[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
