Hi Lads...!

A fantastic clear night with a brilliant full moon... ...!
Couldn't resist taking a shot of it wiv me digital camera...LOL...!

This pic is really scary, cos I had the flash set to "auto", which lit up the Winter trees in the foreground...
The moon is hiding behind... ...!



...and this is a Zoom shot of the Moon... ...!
The faint object to the right is the Planet Mars....quite close at the moment....(but too far away for a Bus ride)... ...!



Cheers all...!

Very good Paul. You either have steadier hands than me or rested your camera on something.

I like the first one best. Very unusual.

PS. I can't see Mars even with my specs on. Someone must have moved it.

Hi Doug......!

I managed to take the first shot by holding the camera very still to allow for the longer exposure time and also for the time it takes for the camera to process the shot....(and my batteries were a bit on the low side!)...

The second shot, because it was zoomed, I had to rest the camera against the back door-jam to obtain a reasonably sharp photo.
Idealy, it would have been necessary to use the tripod to take a photo at night, but I couldn't be arsed to set it up outside in the garden, in the freezing flippin' cold, (very high pressure at the moment!)...LOL...!

...and no, Mr. Mars is still in the night sky, (but only when there are no clouds about)...LOL...!

Paul...Your Phantasic Photograper...  8)...!

It rather moves on its own; however, it's a faint pinpoint (in this px ) at about 4 o'clock.

By the time it's 5 o'clock, you will have missed it...again... ... ...!

Ah thanks. I can see it now - without my glasses.

Winter trees in the foreground...

It's a tad chilly down here too but most of the trees still have their green leaves on. Very peculiar.
