Moon - January 2009

Super!

David, Galileo would have very pleased to this image of the moon. Befitting way to commemorate the epoch-making event.

Very impressive and beautiful creation. Bravo .

Thanks to all of you for your kind comments. Here is another photo of the moon, taken some years ago.

Por lo regular mis amigos andan en la Luna..tu no sos la excepción David...Captura una de octubre, que es la más hermosa por tus lares...Saludos.

Very beautiful moon, perfectly captured!

La luna se puede tomar a cucharadas

o como una cápsula cada dos horas.

Es buena como hipnótico y sedante

y también alivia

a los que se han intoxicado de filosofía

Un pedazo de luna en el bolsillo

es mejor amuleto que la pata de conejo:

sirve para encontrar a quien se ama,

y para alejar a los médicos y las clínicas.

Tus lindisimas fotos de la luna, me hicieron acordar del poema de tu compatriota Sabines. Felicitaciones por tan buenas capturas, David. Saludos, Mari

 

Simple and beautiful.

David, excellent detail in a hard, stark image. I like it very much.

So difficult to do well like you have here. That attachment is awesome BTW!!

Wonderful Luna picture.

Congrats.

Best wishes.

Excellent sharpness and detailings. Haven't got the technical details. Have you use any special equipment?

Thanks to all of you for your kind comments.

 

Kaushik, I only used a camera (DSC-H2) and a tripod. For the second photograph added, I used a little camera and an old Bushnell Televar made for the Retina Reflex. It works as a little telescope.

I never knew how difficult a shot like this could be until I tried it myself. I have appreciation for your tallent. The crisp details are fabulous. Well done

Perfect astro photograph with incredible details.Light and Contrast are agree too.Well done , man.

very well done !

David!

 

Beautiful astronomical shot and nicely done!

 

Many times I wait for moon to shape like this,but unfortunately I could not success.

 

I hope the other time try again!...Thnx for sharing...Regards(Bobby).

Excellent image with so much detail....Best regards

Oops! Hope I didn't insult you, my Mexican friend. I prefer your crescent moon because the shadows give more detail on the craters. Anyway, I would love to make such beauties as these two!
