I was attacked by a Werewolf tonight

[freakofnature]

It came at me while I was taking this picture. I managed to escape so you all get to see it.



The full moon is very bright tonight. Nothing spectacular but I always like taking pictures of it.

I noticed how bright and pretty it was tonight, and hoped someone here would take a picture of it.

You just made my day, Zirc! That's an AWESOME shot.

I was thinking 'why is a werewolf attack story in the pictures area?'

Great moon picture! How do you get it so detailed? I suck at pictures of the moon, no matter how close it looks it always turns into a white speck in front of the lens.

Great job Zirc. Tripod?

those in the meteorology field call this a "snows" moon...why? I have no idea, but better not give us more of that today...supposed to get up to 60 degrees! (15C for you other folks)


thanks Guyzerr

(15F for you other folks)

You meant 15C didn't you?

Don't be so hard on yourself so early in the morning. Blame it on a lack of coffee or something.

Well it was either that or me making a statement to the effect of you being an American. :24:

true, but at least I can admit being the guilty one AND being stupid

I had it zoomed in to 300mm and then I cropped it quite a bit yet. It's all in the wrist. :nod: What kind of lenses do you have? I've never been able to get a good moon shot with my kit lens or my 55-200mm zoom lens.

Great job Zirc. Tripod?

No sir, hand held. It was too cold last night for me to bother dragging out the tripod. As it was, I would take a shot, run inside, look at it, make adjustments and run out for another shot. The moon was so bright I didn't really need a tripod anyway. I think my shutter speed for this one was 1/1000. At that speed I generally don't have an issue with camera shake.

At night! :eek

 

[freakofnature]

At night! :eek

Did you SEE the moon last night? :willy_nilly: It was freaking bright! I started out at 1/500 and I got this blinding white disc! :24: I even did one at 1/1250 that was a bit dark but still a decent pic.
