As long as the moon shines above, and I can hold a camera.......

there will be moon photos!

You can count on that.

It's great to see you tonight!

I'm pleased that you love my photo..........I had fun taking it.

If you have a decent 35mm digital camera, it will work. I have a pretty big zoom lens and that makes these photos possible. My iPhone won't do for this sort of photo.

Thanks for coming by!

Don't be too hard on yourself!

I set up my camera on the tripod last night and took a few moon shots, hoping for some really crisp details........and they were all fuzzy. I hadn't been able to connect my cable release and so there was considerable shake which I think caused the blurriness.

I need to work some more on all of that. Keep at it! If you have a favorite camera store nearby, often the employees give lessons and those can be invaluable.
