Moon in the Morning

Last Sunday morning, I noticed the moon just before sunrise and grabbed my camera for a few pictures. It was cold standing on the front porch in my stocking feet – not taking the time to put on a coat or shoes because I wanted the photograph with the light as it was. Things change fast at that time of the morning.

I zoomed in for a final group of pictures. In the evening I loaded the pictures onto my computer to check what I got. The pictures like the ones above didn’t surprise me but the zoomed ones did. There are craters visible right at the edge of the shadow! I was pleased that my small Canon Powershot SX730 HS did the job….that my hands were steady enough for the camera’s image stabilization to do the rest.
