Goldilocks and the 2 bears (ursa major and ursa minor)
"Someone's been eating my cheese!" (see the nibble toward the upper right)
OK, that's a serious stretch!
And it's a Mother Goose story, not a nursery rhyme.
The sky was clear when I woke up at 3 in the morning, so I decided to try again to get a clear moon shot, even though the moon is waning. Manual shooting mode, manual focus, tripod, shutter release cable -- I could get what looked like a clear focus but when I took my hand off the focus ring it blurred!
Aha! Two things occur to me as I type this -- I forgot to turn off the image stabilization, and maybe I should keep my hand on the focus ring and shoot.
Shutter speed: 1/40 sec
Aperture: 16
Exposure mode: Manual
Flash: Off
Metering mode: Center-weighted average
ISO: 100
Focal length: 280mm

What a beautiful shot. It's all about learning. I'm glad you kept at it.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a lovely moon shot. I like how there's a little noise surrounding the moon. It seems to make it more real.
ReplyDeleteWish I would have thought of that, how creative! I would have thought the "cow jumped over the moon"! LOL Wonderful shot!!
ReplyDeleteyour stretch is very imaginative...shows great creativeness...which adds up to a shot well taken! : )
ReplyDeleteVery creative thinking! And it is a wonderful moon shot.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I was thinking about jumping cows as well. Nice shot.
ReplyDeleteNice shot! Lots of good definition.
ReplyDeleteI like this shot and the way you've applied the Nursery Rhymes theme!
ReplyDeleteLove the shot AND the creative use in Nursery Rhymes.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great moon shot! And you get bonus points for the 3am shooting time!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot!
ReplyDeleteI thought "I see the moon and the moon sees me. God bless the moon and God bless me....."
A fine shot and Janet has a good idea giving extra points for 3 a.m. shots. Fun stretch of a nursery tale too.
