Default Goodnight Moon

I took this the other night while I was waiting for the fireworks to start. Nothing fantastic, but I kinda like it, so I figured I'd share it here

I tried this during the last full moon and found out it isn't nearly as easy as it looks to get a good detailed shot that wasn't overblown. Well done!

Say, it's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me


I like it too, reminded me of this song

Love the detail in the moon and the silhouette adds to the magic. This is not fanastic. It is excellent. Love it Sue.

Thank You Mike. I was really bored before the fireworks started, so I played around a lot getting this one the way I wanted it to look.

All I had was my 70 - 300 ... the dark shape is part of a fence
