just waiting for it to move around to a better position as the houses are blocking the view due to the moon being pretty low.

[clivvy]

this ones not too bad, had trouble stopping the camera from focussing on the tree branches..

[solarman216]

Is it still made of cheese, I like cheese, Rick

[clivvy]

[solarman216]

Just been out to take a pic of the tent, and thought, take a pic of the moon as well, not bad I thought for hand held, can't be bother to find the tripod now, Rick

[96terrano]

[andrewk]

I can see it, but it's misty - so just a whitish blob.

I missed the moon last night - covered in mist, just a white blob. It's cloudy today, too :(

This is the only photo I've ever taken of the moon ...... handheld with a Pentax K200D camera and a (nearly) 50 year old Tamron 400mm f7.5 T2 mount lens.
