The black background makes the moon pop on this image. Very nice effects the shot. Kerby #423386

thank you kerby.it was 20 degrees and very little humidity.only 2 out of 9 attempts were in focus because it was so windy,but I needed to finish the roll for team pictures I did earlier.

This is so beautiful, great shot of the moon. It must have been hard to get it so clear. Nicely photographed. #2699392

well thank you donna for looking and the compliment.until I actually started listening to people here all my shots were junk.next time I think i'll try both my convertors and see what happens.i think with summer coming up I can do even better.
thanks donna,sam #2699811

hey jo ann,thank you.
don't forget to pay attention to what's behind the fireworks.
beware of pole lights,they'll turn a dark background grey.
powerlines and wires.
best of luck,sam #2962961

Thanks Sam, never thought of that! Should I be so fortunate to get a good one, will add it to my sight.
Appreciate your encouraging remarks!

expierence without emotion is a hollow feeling lue.give yourself a few years and you will see.that I noticed your mini pic is passing.the moon is meant to be shared,but is a beauty in solitude.sometimes as it passes down through the clouds and the faint sound of a train whistle blows and the coyotes serenade the silence,the slight warmth of the campfire is enough to confirm that yes,i have had a good life.
my thanks for stopping by,sam #3627491
