Feb 18 ~ Feb 24 - Shapes

Thursday, February 21st

I was really bummed that I missed the eclipse last night due to clouds. The clouds finally lifted tonight so I had a chance to get a little bit of my moon fix. Now I have to wait until 2010 for the next one. This is an obvious shape, its a circle. HHCC welcome and wanted. TFL.

Sorry you missed the eclipse, but I love the level of detail you got in this shot!

Wow, great shot! Sorry you missed the eclipse... If it makes you feel any better..

Turn around bright eyes... Once upon a time I was falling in love, now I'm only falling apart.. Nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart!

Now you feel better, huh? Just be thankful that you didn't actually have to hear me sing it! LOL

No CC here sorry. I really think this is a great shot of the moon. It is very sharp and has great detail in it.

Sara said...

LOL, I think about my ratio of kid photos to challenge postings with you in mind too, Travis!
I have nothing for cc- the comp is lpeasing, it is perfectly exposed and crystal clear. I am impressed with the level of detail you captured. Thanks for posting your settings!

Becky said...

Nice details! Sorry you had clouds, seems like photographing the eclipse would be right up your alley. For all the bad weather we've had around here lately, we actually had a very clear night and had a great view of the eclipse.

Debbi said...

Wow - unbelievable details in this shot! I really struggled getting a clear shot. Did you use a tripod/timer?

Ginnie said...

No CC from me! That is a great shot!

jewels said...

LOL,

I love that you still went out and shot the moon anyways! And It is a darn good crisp photo to boot!

Cheers,

Travis said...

Yes, I used a tripod. I thought that I could handhold it at first, since the shutter speed was pretty fast, but the shots weren't very clear. Once I got it on the tripod I was much happier with the results.

Thanks for all the comments.

Yeah, it was a bummer that the clouds covered up the eclipse here in Utah. But I really like your shot of the moon. The detail is incredible. Love the composition, too.
