Hope you had a nice 4th of July holiday.  I am taking the rest of the week off just to rest and relax.  Jeanne and I plan to do some half day trips but nothing special planned because of the heat.  Sort of takes the fun out of anything outdoors including shooting images.

I shot this moon image last night around 9:00 pm.   I shot in manual and with a lot of different f-stops and shutter speeds.  I wasn’t thrilled with any of them because of the lack of sharpness.

I was shooting in town (in my back yard) and because of the heat there was a haziness around the moon, which I think may have had an impact on the sharpness of the image.   This one was the best of 85 images I shot.

I even tried a 5 image HDR shot of the moon.  Boy did that yield some weird results.  I already deleted those.  Note to self:  Taking HDR images of a  light source is not a good practice.

Thanks for stopping by.  Enjoy your Thursday.  Stay cool and be careful.
