Morning moon

Taken this morning with a K1+150-450+1.4x then cropped from full frame.




Critique please.

It looks a little too tightly cropped on the right hand and bottom sides. This is taking into account the unseen circumference of the moon, as a result the unseen circumference still needs that spatial attention.
It is a very nice image of the moon and i'm wondering why you couldn't display it larger...after all it is the moon and that highlighted crater is a very nice focal point.

I confess that I am not a fan of 'moon shots', so not very qualified to comment, but I do notice there is great detail in this one. I just wonder Barrie whether you would be better off using the talents of yourself and the K-1 on more interesting subjects?

Please don't take offence at this, there's nothing wrong with your image, in fact it's among the best moon images I've seen, but it is just the moon!

Regards
David

PS: My opinion on moon shots is probably not shared by others on here, I fully realise that.

Thanks Paul, I'll try it with a lighter crop. But I'm not sure what you mean about display it larger?

No offence taken David. In the main I probably agree with you, the moon is not the first thing I would pick up my camera for. But this morning, returning home from the garage about 9.30, I noticed it setting in the west in a clear blue sky, well lit by the sun. So I had to have a go.

A bigger picture, is all...

It displays as 800x533 pixels. If it's not been resized then there's nothing useful you can do to make it larger.
If it's resized to make it a smaller file then a slightly less aggressive resize would fit the bill.

I don't usually put on-line images that are bigger than 1000 pixels in any dimension.

According to LR it's 1400x934

I've always been of the opinion to post up a picture as big as you can within the limits of the forum of course. My images are resized at 1280px, but that's just me, nevermind.
Your moon's surface has some nice detail in it and I would just have liked to see it larger, that's all. I'm not saying i'm looking for the moon buggy, flag or whatever because I know all that shenanigans never happened...It's just that those craters are real nice to see.

Thanks Paul.
How do members on here post images on the internet so they can be viewed with out any size restriction?

Quite a few use Flickr (yes the company who have just had one of the biggest user details hack ever!) - you can upload and then view at various sizes, picking the one that suits where you post best - does that make sense?

Here's an example - you can select any size from the page...

...and then link it into a post...




Hope that helps a little

I use Photoscape to re-size my images (up to 1600px on the long size), and to apply a border around them. It's a free photo editing suite and offers up a few little options by way of film effects too...
I post my 1280px (with border, 1333px) on here with no problems.

Why can't I see an American flag on the moon Barrie ? 🙋

More seriously, I like this image but a little more of it may improve it ☺ imho or have I just nicked others opinions?? 😖

'Cause Barrie needed to get a bit closer!

So is this any larger?

Lenny, how do you navigate to that sizes page?

Barrie that link is taking me to the login page.
My great grandson pointed out the moon at 8:30 on Monday morning, it was quite small in the scheme of things. I think you have done very well to get that amount detail in the shot.
