Luna noctum

[Vinam]

I stayed up to watch the last of the storm clouds roll past ( least for a day or two ) .. and took a few shots of the moon ..



here's a little closer



had some nice cloud patterns, that at first where in my way ... then became part of the show

think this is the one I left sooc .. sky had a little color which I never used to really notice

the moon can be really bright.. these clouds didn't darken it too much .. I like the comp on this one .. moon's half blown out, but I like it anyway.



thanks for taking a look... free show every month weather permitting !

Those pics are absolutely amazing. i am in love with moon pics but unfortunately do not have a good enough camera to take pictures of it. Beautiful!

My fave is the 3rd shot. The clouds give the shot this sense of darkness and foreboding.

Great shots Vinam, I have tried and tried to take shots of the moon and had no luck I keep getting like a lens flare effect in my shots. But mate you have really nailed it with these. The one with the rolling clouds is just fantastic.

Vin these are fabulous. I tried my hand at this tonight and it is much harder then one might think. You nailed them of course. I need a better lens to be as effective as I would like to be. I may rent one next month if our local camera center does that kind of thing. Really wonderful work here!

Cool , these make me miss my 500mm and there will be none from me this month at least , really well done .I actually really like the ones with some cloud cover makes for interesting viewing . All the best .

I think you're on a roll.
Is this another subject that could could be ticked off the list, not that I'm saying it's perfect. The US flag is a little out of focus, and I think you could have waited for a further 3.5 degree rotation on the polar axis

They are excellent buddy, I can't pick a favourite and I've been looking at them for some time, although I suspect not at much as you invested in these wonderful examples.
I think I like the first one best

cheers, beachcomber

Vin these are great ! I should be getting a 300mm lens this coming week and can't wait to try taking moon shots. I know who I will be asking for help.

I really like the one with the clouds, it adds mystique to it !

This is just beautiful work Vin. You have some great detail. I just love the third one. It almost looks like the reflection of the moon in the sea, in my opinion anyway. You are certainly having a great time with that camera at the moment Bro. Super work.

Vin, the first two are spectacular in their own right. Clear and detailed but, I really like the last 2. The third one showing behind the clouds.... Love it. Thanks
