Thought I would have a go at a moon shot before it got too dark. Never had too much success with moons before and this is the first one I felt worth posting.

Never had too much success with moons

Aye, me too, but this one I'd be well pleased with, well done.

You sure had success with this one. Lots of nice detail.

There are only two simple rules when photographing the Moon.

the first - do not take pictures in a full Moon.
the second - do not take pictures in a new Moon.





and also need hands masters like you.
Fine.

I just captured this curious picture of the moon a few hours ago. I think it's what's called a 'moon dog' but not sure.

There where thin whispy clouds in the sky and I think the light is being somehow bent or reflected by the clouds making the strange halo.




I used a Tamron 10-24 at 10mm on my K-3. Exposure is 10 seconds with Astrotracer. Not sure if the Astrotracer made any difference given the wide angle and short exposure time.
