I was on my way home tonight from a poetry reading...when I saw this:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

I just stood by my car, put the camera on the car's roof and took this photo. I'm pretty happy with it. I hope you all enjoy!

4. Mmm mmm good!

At the recent full moon here was thinking of your and your gifting moon photos to us.

And here it is!

Thank you much.

7. Gorgeous shot

Do you trade or watermark your online images?
I can image someone swiping your work.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. Thank you!

I don't know how to watermark or trademark my photos. I doubt very much that anyone would swipe my images--there are so many much better ones out there.

I appreciate your asking!

8. Best yet, dear Peggy!

Can you share the equipment and setting you used? I am impressed at the detail especially on the margin of the night side.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Thanks so much!

I used the same equipment that I always use these days. My Nikon D3200 with Tamron zoom lens, 16--300mm. I set the camera on manual. I don't recall the F-stop or shutter speed.

I didn't have my tripod or cable release, so that accounts for the bit of shake that is visible. But I had to try!

[TexasProgresive]

15. 300mm without a tripod or cable release, just magnificent!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. You are waaaaaaaay too kind!

I did rest the camera on the roof of my car (I'd spotted the moon when I was getting into it.). That did provide some much-needed stability!

WOOT!

I really appreciate your responses.

14. Very nice, Peg!

Glad you got it. RAIN and clouds all around here, so no possible views here until Friday.
