Without question, one of the most difficult photos I've ever taken. Why? The angle of view was nearly straight overhead. I could not see it through my lens at all. I took this hand-held, no cable release. Our skies have been extremely cloudy in the evenings.

1. It turned out VERY good Peggy, thanks so much for sharing!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Thank you so much, my dear Talitha!

I HAVE to share, even when I think it could have been better.

3. Wow, that was one tough angle... straight over your head.

You did a beautiful job, Peggy.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. It was really tough, my dear Ohiogal...

I appreciate your kind words!

Thank you.....

6. 'Nother unique view and composition.

There is a lot to be said for taking a single subject and dedicating yourself to it.

I just did that with macro cause I got a new toy but I'm not the most creative photographer around. I'll admit to being a better than average technician but not so much a creative image maker. I'll soon master the technical aspects of the sport and move on to something else. Your dedication to one subject is both admirable and engaging and I look forward to whatever you offer up next.🌜

8. My dear flamin lib!

As usual, you are too kind. And you're selling yourself short!

Your creativity continually astonishes me, plus you're a great technician. I envy you your skills.

I may look dedicated, but it's more that I'm compelled. I'm looking forward to whatever I offer up next too!

Thank you so much.

10. Thank you so much, my dear Soph!

It's a lovely thought, but there are way too many much better photographers out there!

Maybe someday............when I know more!

11. Wow!

I'm trying to identify the dark spot [sea or crater] near the 'top', my guess would be Mare Crisium according to the wikipedia upload below, but I know next to nothing about astronomy.


Excellent photo, great job!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Thank you so much, my dear Hiawatha Pete!

I don't know the names of the seas either........too busy trying to get a super photo!
