Taken while on vacation this past summer in Eastern, OR.

It may be several more months before we can see the moon like this again here in the Pacific Northwest!

aknor Gorgeous, Mat, I am a real moon lover....would love to be able to shoot it like that!!! We only get to see the moon here in Ak. about 7 months of the year because of the long daylight in the summer...when it finally makes its reappearance in October it almost makes me weep with joy!!

focussed Definitely needs to be viewed enlarged. Another spectacular shot. I'm feeling like a broken record with all this "ooohing and aaahhing" over your wonderful work :P

7matrix Well done! Travel to the moon is one of the ideals in my childhood. Your this amazing shot call up my memories... Thank you for your share:-)

Madoc This is a superb moon shot, Matt.
Done with «only» a 300mm lens!?
There's a lot of details there!
Finding the right exposition for the moon is hard: enough to have a bright white moon, but not too much so that all details are lost. But this one is just perfect!

signsnwonders Fantastic photo,wonderful detail and I love that quote.Moon photos are very hard for me because the moon moves.

vollenda It's a beautiful shot. A wishing moon. Most people wish on a star but I like to wish on the moon.

tbranscum Mat, this is an awesome picture. You really inspire me with your kind words and beautiful pics. There is only one thing that worries me and that my friend would be your pick of nerdy friends(Dennis).

sunshineand i like seeing this photo
the moon looks like a shining jewel hanging in the sky

lexlevans there's something about the moon that has always fascinated me. i love looking at it at night and thinking about how this huge ball is just suspended up there and slowly moving around the earth. it amazed me - and i love seeing the craters and the colors and sizes it takes on depending on how close/far it is from the horizon. thanks for sharing this and reminding me of it - reminds me of summer and lying on the beach at night gazing up.

chrisfly Fab moonshot! Gonna try to shoot the moon next time it is fullmoon.
chrisfly · 2008-01-11: 13:51
eljapa Wonderful! I tried this some weeks ago, took me 20 shots to get it right??? Its not so easy. First 10 were all over exposed :-) Never posted it because i have only a 200mm and had to crop to much.
Did you edit the color/warmth? Mine was more grey and had to give it more warmth..
eljapa · 2008-01-11: 15:35
Genevieve very well done...i can't all believe all the details you were able to capture!!
Genevieve · 2008-01-11: 17:40
