Anne, thanks….
Thanks for taking the time to leave such nice comments, Laurence and Ginnie. I am always happy when a moon shot is successful! The trick is Spot Metering (if you have a camera with different metering options), rather than Multi-point Metering. Keep trying, as it is rewarding when it comes off!
Thanks kindly, Ginnie.
I agree fully with that which you say.
I am an amatuer (very much at that!) astronomer – my big loves are Moons and Planets within our solar system. They exhibit clouds something like we never see here in our hemisphere and from which we can learn so much.
Like you, I share your frustration in photographing our Moon. Fingers crossed – the image you wished for will come to you at some point, I am sure! Don’t give up, ok.
Laurence
I agree with all that Laurence said. This is a beautiful photo, and I have been failing miserably for years at trying to capture a good shot of the moon in clouds. So glad you succeeded, Anne, and appreciate that you shared it with us.
A heavenly shot, Anne, and technically rather difficult to capture the Moon and not lose its details.
Laurence
