A few moon shots

[Fred flyfisher]

I was inspired by some of the moon pictures I've seen here and decided to look back through my photos to see what I had... Here are a few for the DPS gang's perusal, I hope you enjoy them.

Taken when the moon was rising through the haze. In PP I cropped and pushed the reddish orange color some and cleaned up the noise.

I don't remember when I did this one. But I did crop it and cleaned up the noise.

This one I took during the day in a ghost town called Bodie, in CA. In PP I cropped and pushed the blue color a little bit.

As always, any comments are appreciated very welcome. Thanks for looking!

I know what you mean Kristin. I have a whole bunch that didn't turn out very good at all. Think tripod and very slow shutter speed... Glad you like them.

Fabulous shots. I like the 2nd one with the sharp contrast of light and dark. You have done a great job with these.

All of these are probably as good as that lens of yours will allow. I know mine is a bit similar, maybe a touch less sharp. I lust for a long lens and a telescope!

I know the feeling. The images are as good as I can get with the kit zoom... I plan to get a longer one before a trip to Alaska next year. Then we'll see how it goes. Thanks for looking!
