Day 67: Almost Full


Well, I felt like I owed it to you all to actually get a good moon picture. The one from the eclipse was kind of cloudy, the other one during the day was grainy... and I got rid of it. But now I have this one! I pulled out mom's old 27-200mm or effective maximum 300mm(1.5x DX crop factor on my D80) lens, originally for use on an old Nikon film camera. There is no auto focus on the lens so this is as perfectly in focus as it gets when I'm in a hurry, which is pretty good. I tried playing around with showing the fact that there actually was a blue sky when I took this one as well, but it was just too dark outside to get the moon not to overexpose while getting enough light in to show blue. I spent about an hour editing this one, and I should probably get to homework around now.... So I hope you like it. and I also hope its the last moon picture I'll do for awhile.

  1. I can't believe this one got no comments. The moon - just after an eclipse! That's different I must admit. I saw it that evening as well. Very captivating no matter the phase. I like the positioning.
