22 January - Moon

Since my new interest in space and the International Space Station, and after seeing a blog last night that had a photo of the ISS, I decided to learn how to use our DSLR properly to get some decent photos using a tripod.

That was a dismal fail, as I was still sitting outside in the middle of the lawn trying to work out how to use the camera, when I looked up and saw the ISS. Unfortunately, one of the clearer and brighter passes too!

But I did eventually learn how to take night photos, and by using the camera in full manual mode and adjusting all the settings myself, I was able to get a pretty decent shot of the moon, without even needing the tripod!!

I even managed to get a little of the color in it, and love how you can actually see some of the craters.

Can't wait for the next full moon.
