As I said the other day, I had taken my camera along to the last meeting of my camera club, hoping to snap some cherry blossom. There was no blossom there but, as we left to go home, there was a rather lovely full moon. Unless you have the right lens, a tripod and other paraphernalia, moon shots are really pretty hopeless but I thought I'd give it a go nevertheless. This was taken with my new little camera, handheld. I liked the spookiness of the moon 'caught' in the tree branches, and the ghostly church tower on the left. Technical prowess = zero, atmospherics = a few points higher than zero!
'And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years.' Genesis 1:14
It is a good picture.
ReplyDeleteYes, moon shots are difficult and for me never turn out quite like what I really saw with my own eyes, but I still take pictures when the night sky is particularly beautiful.
Very atmospheric indeed! I don't have any camera good enough for "proper" moon shots either, but I too keep trying anyway... :)
