I am still amazed at the fact that I can point my digital camera at the Moon and take a picture. I took this picture yesterday, after sunset had brought my leaf-raking to an end. Unlike the photo I took last April, I used the 4x digital zoom on this one in addition to the 3x optical zoom. I used the 10-second delay timer to minimize camera shake, and kept my hands very, very steady.
Even after further magnification, many lunar features are easily recognizable.
Hi!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed looking at your pictures as well as reading your posts. I am glad I clicked the Next blog button after reading my friend's blog because I discovered your blog.
I hope you don't mind if I visit your blog every now and then.
Thanks.
I was looking at the moon when I left work tonight and there was a bright star just below it. I'm no star gazer but I think it was Mars or Venus. I'm going to pull out my scope and try to figure it out.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I just noticed the Moon in conjunction with Mars as I was leaving work, too. I'll have to remember to get a look at them in the morning, to see how much the Moon has moved!
