Moon tonight

My first attempt at a night-time shot, and after a few disasters, not a bad effort methinks:

Taken at 20:50 pm

I've got to say thats pretty good. I noticed that the moon was awfully big tonight just as the sun went down but then became its normal size eventually - I think its because of the refraction of the atmosphere or something.

The nearly full moon did look quite lovely this evening. I went for a walk in the moonlight around the castle moat at Bodiam

Excellent pic and dated/timed too - this is important

The pic is sharp and original could probably take a close crop to show even more detail - just a thought

Cheers nytecam, the pic is cropped quite a lot as it is, I was actually trying to capture the bat which was flying across the moon at the time... without success

Hopefully another clear night in the next day or two will prove fruitful.
