My interest as a beginner lies mainly in the moon for the current time, I'm trying to sketch it as I see it for fun
Thanks Brian and OzStarGazer, I must admit I was pleasantly shocked by the images I got, I would have been happy with just a "non-fuzzy one" as I don't have the steadiest of hands when holding a phone
I can't wait to see what my Canon G12 will do, will be heading out on Sunday night with my friend who is an avid photographer to see the super moon and find some nice reference structures to shoot it against so I'm really keen to see how he goes with his telephoto (or as I call them, "stalker") lenses  |
