In The Misty Moonlight

Tonight when I went to feed the front door cats I noticed the almost full moon shining through a haze of stratus clouds and thought it might make a good picture. I don't really have the lens I need to get the shot I'd really like, but I do what I can with what I have. I've already started hinting to my wife that I wouldn't mind getting a telephoto lens for my birthday this summer.
I took the picture using the wireless adapter on the camera and my cell phone as the remote so that I wouldn't cause the camera to move any when I snapped the shutter. I have only practiced with this once before, so I know I need to keep working at it.
I hope you enjoy the picture.

I love taking pictures of the full moon etc. We had a full moon 3 days in a row and they were beautiful but i did not get to snap any good pictures

This picture is more satisfying than seeing the real moon.

I have tried taking photos of the moon and I can tell you it isn't easy to get a decent image! How the professionals do it is beyond me but I suppose they can afford top-of-the-range fancy cameras which work out all the parameters for them.

It came out very well. I'm a moon lover and have especially enjoyed taking so-so photos with my iPad, especially when it glistens on the water. My son bought a telephoto lens, especially for taking ice skating videos of his kids. It paid for itself, since the professional videos are so expensive.

It's a lovely photo. It's been a beautiful moon the last few nights.
