The recent fuss over the “supermoon” Made me think of some of my old moon shots … I haven’t taken many since acquiring the Nikon, because, frankly, the Nikon isn’t as good at it as my older Olympus Ultra-zoom, which can zoom out to 504 mm. A 500 mm prime lens would cost me a bloody fortune, while the little Oly “compact” only cost me a couple of hundred bucks. I still use it, but not as often, now that I’ve got the Nikon.
Anyway, that 504 mm lens was absolutely the greatest for moon-shots. Here are a few, gathered from my files:
I seem to have put up quite a few, haven’t I? I’d better quit, at least for now.
Take care, folks, and Cheers!

A second Moon photo reminds me on my flight when I was moving to Canada. We were high above Greenland when I could see a Moon and Sun at the same time but on opposite sides of the globe. Looked unreal 🙂

Here, too … the Great Lakes area is famous for its cloudy skies, especially in Winter.
