Tonight's Moon...

Hmmmm. Not sure sure now - its a close one but I think my personal pref is the B&W image. Just...!

Cheers

Both are great images Michael. Based purely on contrast and definition I'd go for the B&W image but the colour image does have a certain "mood" to it. So I suppose it depends what you want to use the image for.

Thanks Neil & Dave for the feedback. I'll take that on board for future shots.

Clear skies,

Here's another shot of the Moon from tonight, 12/12/05

Canon 300d;
1/80th sec;
LX90 (focal length=2000mm);
ISO 200;
Mosaic of 8 images



Clear skies,

Thats a nice big shot Mike. But, its a little darker. Is this intentional through post-processing, or were you using a filter of some kind during photography? Brighter, and kept in black and white - that would look better IMO! Nice work there!

Here is my pencil sketch from the same evening, if anyone sees any errors I would be glad if they pointed them out. It was freezing!
Happy Lunatic
