Crater Face

Crater Face

Thought this would be a pretty appropriate name for this shot. Friday the 11th of Dec was the day that the moon would be the closest to the earth, making it the largest view of the moon for the entire year. Making it 14% bigger, and 30% brighter. Unfortunately as my life goes lol, I messed it by three days and took this photo yesterday, Monday. Not the biggest, but it was still around 20,000 km closer than normal. This photo has been cropped in Photo Shop CS3, that is all, hope you like it!!!!!!

    That is one superb shot Ash, so very detailed my friend, I feel I could reach out and touch it…we missed the actual day/night is was the closest because of heavy cloud cover

  • flyfish70 replied

    Friday it was cloudy here as well, but Monday we had a few breaks in the clouds. I actually waited for the clouds to pass so I could get this. I was hoping I would catch a couple in the shots, but no go!!!!! I’m so very pleased with this one though, and very happy you like it so!!!!!!!!!

    A Fantastic Capture, Do ever have the Chance to take pics from your Aircraft??? that would be a great site to see what things look like from so High .

    Malcolm

  • flyfish70 replied

    Hey Malcolm, thank you very much for your comment!!!!! LOL as for taking photos from my plane, well I would love to except there is no place to sit. It flies by it’s self, but that would be pretty cool, thanks again!!!!!!

  • Malcolm Chant

    Malcolm Chant

    Well could you not fit a remote Camera onto it to take shots at regular intervals???

    The results would be great! (Just a thought)

  • flyfish70 replied

    I would give anything a try, but I think if I were to try to mount a camera anywhere on my airplane the Military Police would have me in lock down being that it is a military plane. I do have a few photos from inside one of the planes I worked on! I had a pilot friend of mine take my camera up and take shots for me, they turned out awesome! If you go through my photos. you will see these photos, I think you will like them!!!!
