It seems I've been obsessed with the moon lately. Specifically, getting a really detailed photo. I captured these pictures on Friday. The first 2 just
before dusk, it was around 8pm. I set the Olympus on auto with the flash off
and proceeded to adjust the compression ratio. I could see very little, if any
difference. After I transferred the first batch and was completely unsatisfied with
what I saw. Then I noticed the moon was a bit brighter and it was just after dusk (9pm).
Since I'd already drug all my equipment back in the house and I didn't want to
clean my lenses again (humidity was at 95%, yuk), I decided to set up the
tripod in the kitchen and shoot thru the window.
ENJOY!

great capture, it´s perfect!
great captures of the moon.
have a lovely evening.
Very nice moon shots.
These really are excellent. You patience and obsession are paying off. Never easy to shoot the moon but you have nailed these.
Great shots of the moon, many details to see, not easy, well done!
Glad you're on moon-watch! I don't have a tripod and could never get such clarity & detail. Lovely moon shots! (And I like that you tell how you got them.)
I've been seeing the moon often lately, but haven't really captured it.
Full moon's coming up though, so be ready with your camera :)
Some effort - that paid off. I can almost make out the man on the moon... :)
wow! those are impressive shots and even look mysterious. My world is here
Not at all easy, is it. I can only get a shot with good definition in a daytime shot. If you are shootin on automatic, it works better with the flash on. Your are then tricking the exposure and will get slightly more definition or colour if the moon in low in the sky.
Very cool. I have quite a few nature buddies in Columbus and Delaware, OH.
It's funny - i was thinking about this only this afternoon. We have a full moon tonight here in Australia. I was wondering if you peeps in the North see it as well - obviously, you do.
Moon peaked at full tonight here - thurs August 6. Full as it can get.
