Bright Full Moon

Not my best photograph of the moon, but at last I managed to get a full moon. Every time I've tried before it has shone so brightly that I couldn't produce it, similarly last night it was so bright.

I was just have my evening meal when my neighbour rang my door bell, and knowing my love for photography, pointed out the full moon. Needless to say my meal was left to go cold.

Lovely with the colors, very arty.

Like your processing - you can make out the main features and it is a refreshing take on a familiar subject

Splendid capture! Interesting special effects on this amazing picture of the moon!

[Jule ♥]

Great capture of the moon!
made me go outside and try too. :p
how much zoom did you use?

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@justaspark Thanks Jule, x 40 zoom but if not using a tripod you have to hold the camera very steady, that's what I did.

@featherstone @virtualbrownie @congaree Thank you all, there wasn't much processing but tried to control the brightness.

Lovely capture.

[Phil Cameron]

good effort Heather ...star

[Nicola]

Wow - amazing detail!

[Rachel Holbrook]

I find the best time to shoot it is well before the sky is dark - then you can really get the craters etc

@kathiecb @linnypinny Thank you both, a full moon brings all the lunatics out at night, think I should go back indoors.

@ladymagpie I can remember my father saying that about the full moon when I was young...once I started working in customer service, I realized how true it was!

@patcoyle Thanks Pat

[Susan Golding]

Wow! this is fantastic. I just cannot take pictures of the moon!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@windridge Thanks Susan, it wasn't easy to hold the camera steady as I haven't bought a tripod yet. It was almost to bright as well.

Wish I could capture the moon just half as well as you have here, Heather! Just lovely!!! A Fav!
