Last night the moon experiments began. My attempts to cross #39 off my "52 by 53" list. What you see above are the best efforts by myself on the left and by Chris (fan cleaner, cook, egg coloring expert, husband) on the right. I was attempting to focus on the tree branch in front of the moon. Chris went down to the basement, got out the tripod, put the camera in manual mode and focused on the moon. Humph... one of us might have gotten a degree in photography in undergraduate school and might be just a bit more patient than the other. Whatever!
I'm still practicing. Waiting for a fuller moon. I did leave the tripod upstairs though.
Gee not bad for a first effort though. Don't count yourself out! Won-der-ful!

In the old days of film photography you could have played with developing the two images on top of each other, which I think would be quite interesting. Don't know much about photoshop, but wonder if this kind of experimentation is still possible? At any rate, it seems an interesting visual representation of your personalities!!!

The beauty of the moon's mystery is what fascinates me. Soem people like to see the details, I'm one for keeping the romance of that gorgeous silver lady (or man in some languages).

what is amazing to me is how much light your moon is giving off and how dark your husbands moon appears! and yet they are the same! very cool!!!!

This is something I've always wanted to accomplish as well. More inspiration.
