Moon Phase

Sunday, November 16, 2008 | |

One effect of having 12x zoom on my Canon S2 IS was that I had a 'moon phase'. For several months after reading about, and seeing other people's attempts at shooting the moon with the S2 in internet forums I would try to take a picture of the moon whenever I find myself out at night with my S2. I didn't care if I had to crop most of the image out. I was just amazed that I can make out some surface detail with my point&shoot. Here are a handful of my better attempts:

Photos were taken on different occasions back in 2006. All were handheld shots. Contrast and saturation adjustments done in post.
