Not a full moon by pamknowler

Not a full moon

Two day before the full moon I looked up and saw the moon so clearly I decided to get a shot. It will probably be cloudy Wednesday for the full moon.

The background is blue and not black.
What wonderful detail! I looked to see what lens you were using and I'm so excited to see you had a 400 focal length... Amazon is delivering my new 100-400 lens on Wed. I have to laugh that with each purchase I think, "Well, that's enough...I have everything I need now..." (In truth, I'm getting this at the suggestion of Matt for the trip to Costa Rica... Wouldn't want to miss anything!)

@Weezilou Ooh lovely a new lens!! This is my 100-400mm lens which I always use for my bird photos - remember the eagle shots? You will get some fabulous images in Costa Rica as you are going to be spoilt for choice as to what to capture!! My only problem is the weight of the lens which can make my arm ache if I carry it for too long. Enjoy your new toy!!

Great detail on the craters

incredible - that blue is so deep and nearly black so was this manipulation of the image brightness or something?

@koalagardens no just tiny adjustments as this was taken in RAW. The sky actually looked a lighter blue but against the brightness of the moon the image was deep blue.

@Weezilou I've always wanted to go to Costa Rica so I hope you have a lovely time and I shall enjoy the photos you take

Great capture- fav

That's a really sharp image -- well done! When it's not a full moon, the craters tend to stand out more anyway, so you may have been better off.
