The last time I took pictures of the Moon was November 4th of last year. It was the first time I was able to get anything but a white blur in the sky. This one is even better than those. I think my last story might have had more good information than this one though. I include a link on how to do this in that post.
The thing I really thought was interesting this time though was the odd little dot that was moving around on the surface of the Moon. I keep wondering what it might be. I guess it was nothing...
No, really! It was nothing! I'm just kidding. There was nothing moving around on the Moon. Do you hear that, government people!! I saw nothing! Nothing at all!
Please report to your nearest branch of The Lunar Construction Company for debriefing. Bring all digital images for inspection and pack for a long journey...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture of the moon, Ratty! I can't take any of the moon pictures with my small camera.
ReplyDeleteNothing nicer than a good moon photo. Thanks.

This moon is big enough to brighten up our night and our path. I remember the time when I was small, when I stayed in a village....
ReplyDeleteI took my best moon photos by holding the camera (focus at infinity) to a telescope eyepiece. It really works.
ReplyDeletethis is a very good moon picture, i have not practiced taking up close pictures of the moon yet, i will try to remember next time.
ReplyDeleteOne of the best Moon shots I have seen!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo Ratty!! No moon photos for me till my arm stops hurting.
ReplyDeleteThat is a fantastic shot. I can't get a good one with my new camera I just don't have the lens for it. I have to use my old one to get the zoom I need. Maybe one of these days I'll get a zoom lens for my new one.
ReplyDeleteAmazing shot of the moon.
ReplyDeleteI can see whether I can take a photograph with my digital camera.
I feel the connection with the photo that you took of the moon, just by staring at it.
Whenever the moon is out I always feel in the highest of frequency with it and the energy on a planetary level. In other words I feel more awake, connected and loving as I am already within earth. It's a good period to just be, and rest, and sometimes to release old wounds or patterns.
The moon is feminine energy, and very important in it's role.
Oh, Ratty, that is a beautiful picture of the moon. I hope you were out there with Mrs. Ratty or someone equally suitable if there isn't a Mrs. Ratty. It's a shame not to snuggle under a moon like that!
ReplyDeleteLove that shot, Ratty!!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
Wow- that is great! I haven't tried anything like this with my camera yet. I have some crappy lunar eclipse shots that I took on film a while back. You can see that it happened, but no detail.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great moon photo! And I wasn't going to say anything, but uh, yeah, there is something moving around on the moon. We cats have set up a space station there, for when you humans finally go too far and really wreck the earth.
ReplyDeleteA fantastic shot Ratty. I love the moon and did try taking photos of it when you last posted one...even with the link you gave me I couldn't get any decent pictures. I don't mind though as you share your wonderful pictures with us and I can keep trying for myself and maybe one day I will master it...and if not then I will always have your pics to look back on!!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I miss about such good shots of the moon is that you lose the man....have you ever looked up on a starry night and seen that man in the moon??? No matter what stage the moon is at he is always there!!
Thanks for all of your wonderful comments. I especially like the ones that played along with my awful humor this time. :)

I was thinking the same thing about the Man in the Moon. I actually examined the picture several times looking for him. I found if you make the picture smaller he pops right out there.
Wow.. that's such a beautiful full moon, even if it's a day earlier. =D It's so well detailed too. Something my humble cam can never imagine to do. T__T hehe..
ReplyDeletePS: I bet you really saw something moving. Cause Mulder always says, 'the truth is out there!'. lol
