One day after the Harvest Moon, we can see more detail in the craters of the moon.
ISO 100, 200 mm, f/8.0, 1/250 sec
Same shot as the 1st one (f/8.0 1/250 sec) but with increased exposure / less detail but prettier, I think.

Oh, Shine on, shine on, harvest moon
Up in the sky;
I ain’t had no lovin’
Since April, January, June or July.
Snow time ain’t no time to stay
Outdoors and spoon;
So shine on, shine on, harvest moon,
For me and my gal.
“Shine On, Harvest Moon,” 1908 by the married vaudeville team Nora Bayes and Jack Norworth.
Nearly a century later, Neil Young gave us another Harvest Moon love song.
Because I’m still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I’m still in love with you
On this harvest moon.
The Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox. Canon 60D, f/9.0, 1/250 sec, 200 mm.

O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon,
That monthly changes in her circled orb…

I was not getting the clear focus / sharp images I had gotten last year and was worried that I’d made a big mistake changing from Nikon to Canon.
However, my photographer son reminded me today that when I have the camera on the tripod, I need to shut off the image stabilization. DUH!
So, image stabilization off… and look at the detail! Ain’t it cool? All right, I’m easily impressed. I think that it’s fantastic that a mid-range lens can capture the craters on the moon. Imagine what the astronomers in the planetariums can see!

The water drops like pearls from this the worn, scratched faucet, reflecting a bit of the kitchen.
I am trying to get a sharp focus on the water drops; although I’ve gotten close, I just haven’t gotten what I want. I’ll let you see my rough drafts, so to speak, as I experiment with this subject.
