playing with moonlight
New Year's Eve had a waning gibbous moon. I was trying, with no tripod (because I thought I didn't have enough time to get back in the house for the tripod), to get a good photo of the moon using a telephoto lens. Unfortunately, I couldn't get an image I really liked because of the blur associated with long exposures. So I thought it might be a good idea to try abstract art with light streaks. A fireworks display got into frame too. Here's what I got in the end. Next time, I'll use a tripod.
get the moon when it is still low on the horizon and not too bright... http://www.flickr.com/photos/90219048@N03/8346562117/in/photostream

That is one pretty picture of the moon! Thank you for your advice! I shall try it next time I have my camera with me.
DeleteI was able to get a copy of your book at the IRRI Library, by the way. And I was at your lecture at the ADB. :)
