Kees' photos with the keyword: moon

Pictures of the moon are ubiquitous, and most of them are better than this one. But it is mine, all mine. It’s one of the first I shot with my Sony 55–300mm lens, which was meant to complement the original 16–50mm one. I will probably only use it on special occasions: I’m more of a wide angle guy, and am anxious not to litter the inside of my camera by changing lenses too often.

A moon eclipse doesn’t happen every day, so last night I set up my tripod, and used my portrait tele to compete with the pros... Not a wise thing to do, I know. I experimented a bit, only to find out that, with the progression of the eclipse, there was less to be seen. Wasn’t that to be expected? No doubt.

Tonight, we had a full moon hanging over Isar valley...

Strange atmosphere, isn’t it? Well, the sun in the picture actually is the moon. No tripod, but a very steady hand (resting on the edge of our balcony...).
