Description

The last in my series of three on the blue moon. I should have moved the tripod to get some branch silhouettes to add to the picture. I was lazy, so just used the shadow of the earth instead! Taken in South Africa near Malmesbury, about 40km north of Cape Town. Shine on! Clive

Very sharp capture, nice. We had a partial eclipse here on Sylvester eve too, but there where to much clouds and fog.

Superb capture Clive. I will give moon shots a go as soon as i have my 300 mm lens. There is a good chance that my sigma repaired lens will be replaced by a new one.
