That is a great shot! I see all kinds of great images of the moon from my backyard but I have so many phone, cable and power lines that I can never get a good shot of it. And no matter what I do the moon always looks a lot smaller in the actual picture than it does when I just look at it.
Thanks, Jen!
You have to take a good quality picture (large pixel size) so you can later crop it and still have a clear image. That way you can “enlarge” small elements.
I tweaked this image in other ways to give it this grainy look. I like how the moon seems to pop out!
Yes. I took it from our front yard. This was a single RAW format exposure that I processed through Photomatix, and played with the tone mapping settings, resulting in this “fake” HDR image. (True HDR uses multiple exposures.)
An excellent shot too.
I like your new commenting system. Much faster.
Have a terrific day. Big hug to you both. 🙂
Thanks, Sandee. I’ve been trying for days to find a better commenting system and to speed up the loading of my site.
Looks like a ball floating in a pool. Oh, wait. It sort of is.
I thought it looked like the moon was trying to pop through the sky!

Wow… breathtaking! Wherever you are it seems too good to be real. Are you playing with special effects again?
