Full Moon

Full Moon: With this title the blog might get some different hits from its
usual! I was asked about technical details, so here goes:

Nikon D100, White Balance: auto, Iso: 400, Shot on Tiff then converted to
Jpeg in Picasa and saved at 100 dpi, Lens 180mm (270mm on APS digital
sensor) + 2x TC 200 converter (540mm). Manfrotto tripod and cable
release.
I digitally zoomed on screen before cropping to 6 x 6 inches, converted to greyscale and applied unsharp mask.

Again the image is for Max's Art project on the moon. I should have taken it earlier in the evening when the moon appeared lower and larger in the sky. It is a miracle to have seen the moon in Peebles nearly every night this week, for once we have been spared the rain and clouds.
