Last night I saw a full moon rising over the lake and all I had at hand was my M10R and a 35mm lens, but I couldn't resist shooting anyway. I steadied the camera on a park bench.

I don't mind at all, Henry. The problem with that shot, even though it's sharp and well exposed, is that it's like every other telephoto shot of the moon.

Well  it's the only one we have and shooting with a 600mm lens doesn't offer much improvement,  for me that is. 😄

In technical terms it's a great shot, just not a unique one. That's not a criticism. Just an observation. Do a content search for "full moon" and you'll see what I mean.

You have distilled the depiction of the moon clearly ... your capture evokes the mystery and whimsical nature of the lesser of the Heavenly bodies ...

a sense of "the Moon is a Harsh mistress." Close captures ... 600mm against a stark background are evocative of forensic mug shots ... get all the detail ... lose

all the passion.

Henry ... great capture ... but every close capture I have attempted has been a bit soft ... hard to compete with the dedicated astronomy imaging platforms.
