Stark Moon

Cold, dark night, no stars.

1/15sec @ f/16
240mm
ISO 100

1st Moon shot. Quite happy.

Nice moon shot Manguish, esp likes where it sits in the frame. And well exposed!

You could add some sharpening, not that it needs it but I think it could work well given the texture.

I knocked it back one stop, sharpened and came up with this - much better imo.

Agree - much better

Didn't actually realise i was only at 240mm. Gonna go back and take some 300mm's lol.... Not that the 60mm will make a ha'path of difference

Two nice shots, and I agree the second is a tad better, but both smart!

Lol, you changed that second pic.. The one you posted there first was sharper... or was it

I only changed it to a bigger version.

Flickr seems to have an effect on pictures. Lightroom looks awesome, then on the net they look pants.

The smaller (first posted) one is here :

Larger :

Go figure. Same picture?

That's odd because the smaller one is defintely sharper! Wonder what/why they are doing it? :-/

It's one of the reasons a prefer photobucket, it doesn't resize or reduce the file size unless you 'tick' the box for it to do so (and it's free and hardly ever down).

Nice shot. The second one certainly looks better.

Not sure what the Flickr issue is regarding size.

When I upload shots to Flickr it stores the full size original image.

Whenever I select a picture 'from' Flickr to put on a forum I click 'all sizes' and get the choice of then posting either:

1. Original size
2. Large size 1024 X 683
3. Medium size 500 x 333
4. Small size 240 x 160
5. Thumnail 100 X 67
6. Square 75 x 75

Sometimes a picture might look a bit funny when it appears small on the forum but whenever I click on it to view full size I just see whichever of the above I'd chosen to take from Flickr.
