The so-called "super moon"

There has been a fair bit of publicity about the "super moon" the past few days. The name "super moon" appears to have come about because it is both a full moon and passing relatively close to the earth.

So, here it is. I really really really want a bigger lens now :-)

Another picture of the moon

More playing around with the camera this evening, with another picture of the moon. Again, a fast shutter speed and hand held [although with image stabilisation on] has resulted in a decent image.

As always, click on the image for a larger version.

A better moon photo

Following on from my previous post, here is a larger, clearer photo of the moon that I took last night.

Remember to click on the image for a much larger/ better version.

Enjoy!

The Moon

I've been playing with camera settings over the past few days, and thought that I would put it all to the test this evening. What follows is one of the moon photos that I took. No tripod, manual focus and with image stabilisation "on", on my Canon EOS 450 with a 55-250mm lens [yeah, at the 250 end] and a 1/1000 of a second shutter speed [pretty much everything else is automatic].

I've cropped top and bottom, and you will need to click on the image to get it full size!

Enjoy!
