I’ve always enjoyed photography, but until recently, I’ve never had the opportunity to work with real decent equipment. My first real worthy-of-use camera is a Cannon Rebel T1i, and I love it! It’s not a top-of-the-line camera, of course, but it’s great for someone who’s just starting with photography (me!).
I enjoy doing nature shots, portraits, and photographing the sky…. The most common is nature and the sky… because, well, I don’t depend on other people to do it, so it’s “always available”. The sky is not so great over here due to pollution and weather, but every now and then I do get a clear night.
The following pictures of our dear moon were taken on one of those clears nights. Sky photography is a lot harder than I ever though it would be… I still need waaaaaaay more practice… so I’m hoping Mr. Weather will collaborate with me.

Our moon from up close again. This one uses a higher contrast, so that's why it looks the way it does. I thought the result was interesting!
I’ve been trying to get other heavenly bodies but those are… well… a lot more “out of reach” than our friendly moon. I’ll soon succeed, however… I’m on the right track!
