[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
As I was driving home an hour ago I noticed the almost full moon in the sky. So I grabbed my camera to see what I could do. This was taken with my 300mm and cropped. In Hawaii we called the day before a full moon the "Hawaiian full moon" but I don't know how that came about.

PP: Crop, resize, frame, and unsharp mask.

Hi Mike
Now I can see what a 300mm zoom can do, I'm impressed. I think that a zoom lens will be my next purchase so I can do some wildlife shots. I like the detail on your harvest moon (as we call it on the prairies) and the black sky.

Hi Mike,
This is a great shot of the moon. Reliefs on moon surface are clearly visible. Excellent sharpness. Superb tele-photo.

Límpida, clara, nitida... muchos adjetivos pueden tratar de explicar la belleza de esta captura Mike.
El colorido captado es muy especial y poco habitual.
Me agrada el encuadre, estéticamente muy correcto.

Hi Mike,
Great contrast between the really black sky and the golden colored moon. I love the details in the moon. Did you do anything on exposure settings?

Hi Mike, Iv taken many a shot of the moon and for a 300mm crop that a great result. Your placement in the frame strengthens your composition, love the colour tone which also adds. Well done.
