la lune was being a flirt tonight.

it was already low in the sky, so I got a bit hectic, so this may be a bit blurry.

(thank you friend who told me about it)

Canon 600D: ISO 800, 1/100s exposure

Wow, that's great! 🤩 Had you done this before?

By the way, another interesting thing on SLRs is to zoom in on the moon with a long lens and be freaked out by how fast it moves across the sky.

@FediThing yes, I have done this before. see: https://mastodon.art/deck/@posiputt/112429852661463636

and at this magnification, the moon is always wandering out of frame, and I have to adjust for every photo I take. it's really weird seing this wandering. maybe I'll make a video of it next time!

If you do a video, try to get something in the foreground (like a tower or whatever) for the moon to move past. It can look really cool! 👍
