Corny and a poor photo of the moon, I know, but it's the first thing that came to my mind tonight.
10/1 I added this to the Song Title Challenge (all the photos are mine, even if the music ones are screenshots). For a funky version of the song, you might enjoy this rendition by Leon Redbone: https://youtu.be/jGUW0uAwDyw?si=YjC6Re1woDdnN80p
@taffy Thank you Taffy. @shutterbug49 I am disappointed that I can't seem to get a tack sharp photo of the moon. I need to read up on the technique. Thank you Debbie for your feedback. @kjarn Thank you Kathy.
This is very clever and I like the black background! I am not sure what kind of camera you have, but on my Canon bridge camera I set the lighting to daylight, ISO at 400 (because I'm too lazy to set up the tripod- but 100 and 200 are much better), and have it on AV (aperture value) to let the camera decide the rest. Sometimes I go to the negative side on the exposure to get better contrast on the craters and "seas" and when I feel artsy I set the dial at tungsten or florescent to give the moon a blue or yellow tint. Obviously using a tripod makes everything sharper, but I find 400 to be ok hand-held. I do some finishing touches in post-processing but basically using those settings works well for me.

@kjarn Thank you Kathy.
Gosh, thank you again. I replied to everyone except Louise & Ken last night. I must not have pushed the Post Comment button again. (I'm getting a bit frustrated with myself.) So you all are getting a group thanks.
@olivetreeann Thanks for the tips. I hope I can remember them. I need to write them down somewhere.
