My First Moon Shot

Beautiful! One of my favorite moon trivia facts is it's reflectiveness is about the same as an asphalt parking lot. So think about how non-reflective one of those is compared to the water and clouds, and how crazy bright a full Earth must be from up there!

Great detail. One can even see the flag planted by Apollo 11 fifty years ago. 🇺🇸

From the other side! Probably require time-exposure.

Nice photos, as always...

Hi Paul,
I bought a Sony MVC-CD400 with the single Zeiss Verio-Sonnar 6X Precision Digital Zoom back in 2002 to use for my PhotoPost pictures, and several friends since wanted me to take all of their wedding photos, and to this day still use and haven't found any reason to stop using it.

For the money alone, you've got a 'Boss' and a Keeper!
Awesome Photos!!
