Moon Perigee: The best my camera could do


I had been waiting for this day, March 19th 2010 right from the day I got to know about Moon Perigee about a 2 months ago. I had plans to buy a tripod, may be borrow a better camera from a friend :-D and hit to a place where I could get a very good view of the moon early in the evening. But ultimately I didn't get much time and had to go ahead with My Canon A710 IS, with a 6x optical zoom and no tripod.


Although I couldn't capture exactly what I saw, I can tell you the view was absolutely stunning & mesmerizing. I was amazed and considered myself lucky to have been out there to witness the early hours of Moon Perigee. When you see the moon at the horizon, it gives you an illusion of being extraordinarily large giving you the most beautiful view you'd ever see.

Below is a capture taken hand held by a friend of mine, Rahmat Ali, using his Nikon camera which has a 16x optical zoom, a few days after the moon perigee. Well, now, may be after 16 years. I'll try again :-))

  2. Clouded sky made me miss seeing this moon, so I'm pleased to see it here. I like the deep periwinkle blue sky in your second image.

  7. HI, I've been looking at some of your photos --and they are GREAT... I too am learning ---and the 'bug' has bitten both me and hubby. On our recent trip out west (for 3 weeks), hubby and I took over 5000 pictures total. Amazing, isn't it???? BUT--I find photography so interesting --just like you do..

    Great pictures.
