I'm glad you liked them!
Well... if you have a very long lens for an SLR camera, you could take moon pics like this... but lenses in that category are VERY expensive. You can hook up a camera to any telescope and take great pictures of the moon for a fraction of the cost. But yes, a telescope would be the best way to get shots of this quality. You won't be able to do it with a regular camera lens.
Regards,
Tony

I don't know. It was taken about 2.5years ago and has survived a computer crash and hard drive juggling. I'll check when I get home this evening.

Have any of you ever taken a picture of the moon from underwater on a night dive? THAT would be really awesome!
ScubaTexan:
I've always wanted to! Definitely on the list.....
Just have to coordinate the dive trips to clear water locations and night dives with the moon schedule!
Nice shots Tony!!

Hey Leesa. This is a shot right out of a little Optio from our boat in Palau. I'm going to try to take some moon pictures this week. Great thread!
This is my all-time favorite moon shot
This is a picture of Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin and to me it symbolizes the survival drive of our species. It gives me hope that dwindling oil reserves, global warming, the utter failure of Kyoto, the carrying-capacity of the planet and even the 1/2 life of the sun won't stop us as a species from doing what it takes to survive. This planet will eventually die--of natural causes or of our own doing--but people like this will have the guts to take our DNA out of harm's way....
