Fly me to the moon (again)

Saw the beautiful night sky on the way home tonight. There was some clouds, many stars and the moon was clear and bright. I couldn't resist taking another picture of the moon. This time with the lens hood attached. Not sure what happened but it was sharper than my last attempt which was posted here. Hope I haven't bored you to death with this subject. I can't promise that I will never post another picture of the moon again. It is just too beautiful! OK, the setting was f/8, 1/250 sec at iso200. Picture is 1:1 cropped but otherwise straight out of the camera without any editing. Enjoy!

Fly me to the moon

This is my latest attempt on the moon. Sorry, it is a cropped image. Couldn't fill the whole frame with my camera... It will take a huge 1600mm lens at least. Anyway, it is great to see all those little craters. One of the best thing about photography is this: it enables you and me to see and appreciate the wonderful world around us, the creation of God.

Did you know that our moon is actually really bright? Can you believe that this photo was taken at 1/500 second, f/8, iso200. Never use automatic setting (well, unless the moon can fill the whole frame with your lens I suppose...).
