Default Da Moon,

My muse has deserted me for awhile, but I looked up and saw the Moon. So I set up my tripod and the Rocket Launcher and took a few shots.

This is my 1st try at this type of shot. So be gentle!

Any comments appreciated, Have a Blessed Day
Michael

Love that Rocket Launcher, Michael! Great shot with tons of detail, well exposed. I find it difficult to get a great exposure on a moon shot, so I have some work to do!

Gentle? Are you kidding? This is an awesome shot....
My first try didn't look anything like this.

Excellent capture! Great detail, focus looks spot on and no colour distortion. I'd say it's a great first try.
