I love the composition here. My attempts at photographing the moon have always been failures :-)

Thanks suyog. Although I wouldn't consider this a great success, and I'll tell you why. This was my first attempt, and there was graininess, so I brought down the light after the fact. I had the shaded part in there, but that grain bothered me too much. I will probably give 'shooting the moon' another try, but maybe when it's full.

This is Sarah's sister Rachel. I love looking at your pictures, you've inspired me to start a photoblog.
Did you use a tripod to take your moon picture?

Okay, I feel like I stepped on suyog's comment. And by the way, if anyone's wondering it was my comment that I deleted, so I don't want you to think I'll be deleting comments (unless I have good reason). Anyway, I should have just said 'thanks' to suyog and let it go at that. I very much appreciate the positive feedback, so keep it coming! =)

Hi Rachel! I think I could some great advertising from Sarah... seems I've had quite a few visits from her referral. To answer your question, I definitely used my tripod (the one that inspired the naming of this photoblog) and did some 2", 4" and 8" exposures. This was probably a shorter exposure. As I had never taken moon photos before, I didn't realize how fast it moves! Goes to show that I'm not a scientist by any means! So even in four or eight seconds of my shutter being open, the moon would already have moved. Amazing. This one was the closest I could get to what the naked eye was seeing last night.

growing up, we called this God's thumb nail. brings back memories for me.

What is Leaning Tripod?

My photoblog began in early 2005. I am very passionate about photography, but more about 'the eye' of it than the technical side. I love to share my view of the world, and this is the small space where I choose to do just that.
