This was a planned shoot that I did last year.
The moon was barely visable but as the evening rolled on it became more so as it dipped to the horizon. Of course it was older then as well.
I ran across it and wanted to share.
I would like to get a shot of the moon less than 24 hours but my nemesis the clouds have always spoiled that for me.

Hey Jim,
Tomorrow should be really clear for you and "IFFY" for Astro, Gene and I on the Coast.
When is the next time the Moon will be 24hrs old at rise or set? Sounds like a challenge.

My feeble attempt at Macro

That makes good sense to me. Here are a couple still lifes I just took with the Nikon Nikkor 60mm f/2.8 D AF Micro Lens.
8" to focus point, ISO 800, 1/60 sec at f/5, with SB-700 Speedlight & diffuser
Images 1 & 2 full shot; images 3 & 4 crop to 1:1

For not knowing what you are doing you are doing pretty well. I . . . have gotten better since I looked at the information that Nikonian72 (Douglass) suggests regarding lenses and a diffuser attached to your flash. It really does make a positive difference. Keep shooting and practice, practice, practice.

Thank you to everyone Douglass, Dennis, Albuqshutterbug & Scott for all your help.
What I do have right now is a Nikon Nikkor 60mm f/2.8 D AF Micro Lens. I just got it last week and have not had the time to put it thru it's paces. Would this be a Lens that would qualify to some degree??? Craig

Good job Craig your ready, hopefully clear skies your way.

Thank you Astroturf, it looks like Albuqshutterbug is going to be in the best clear sky condition Thursday.
I expect hit and miss scattered high clouds tomorrow. Storm moving in over Northern Calif.
