New Year Moon Shot
Jan 1, 2021 11:42:39 #
Last night, we went to bed before midnight, but my wife gently nudged me awake about 2:00am. Good news? Bad news? Late night snack? Nope, it was the slightly-past-full moon that was shining in a cloudless sky. Starting to get nice shadows in the craters. Hauled out my big Gitzo tripod and took a few shots (it was just about freezing). This one turned out OK. Oops, I didn't update my copyright at 2:00 in the morning! Oh well...
Happy New Year to all Hoggers.
Happy New Year to all Hoggers.

Great moon shot. The atmosphere was clean and you got great definition in the moonscape. Thanks for sharing.

Good shot! Worth getting up for.
Thanks, Alliebess. I wasn't sure at first whether I wanted to be up and out in the cold, but I'm now happy that I did.

I really like the depth on the right and bottom.

Thanks, Longshadow. When you can see the detail, you can see that the moon has taken a lot of hits in its time. Thanks for looking.
