another cliched shot i couldnt resist doing... with some post proccesing

Love the PP -- the glow around the moon is terrific.

I'd be curious to know whether that "glow" is due to atmospherics or flare in the lens. Does anyone have any experience with that issue?

The only time that I see that is when the atmospheric temperature aloft is approaching the dew point (as the night temperature falls, the air may become saturated). When that happens, seeing goes to pot in a hurry.

Excellent result whether it was PP or MN (Mother Nature)

wow, love it. So this was shot at 200??
Do you have to stop these shot of the moon down quite abit to get so much detail. Would like to have a go but no telephoto

was shot at f3.5 and the glow was PP
it looked ok clean and standard, but if im already making a picture of somethign that has been photographed for years i wanted to try to make it abit different so i had soem fun with in in photoshop ^^

interesting shot ..... like the result .... which lens did you use?

duplicated the layer with the moon (after adjusting the curves and colours to make it nice and blue), applied gaussian blur to the duplicate to make it a vague big blur, and set that duplicate to screen in layer styles

What's not to like? Great shot! (and cliche shots are cliche for a reason -- people like them and keep shooting them!)

Thanks very much. I have a moon shot of my own I'm going to try that with! (Someday I'm gonna learn, oh, maybe 10% of what Photoshop can do...)

heh my pleasure
not to blow my own horn here but tbh im quite fluent in PS so if ya need any help feel free to give me a call ^^

I live in the wrong side of the world. In New York at 100% crop I get 50% of the size with the same lens.
