Some Moon shots I shot with advice from Astrobeck on http://filmwasters.com/forum/index.php?topic=907.0 (http://filmwasters.com/forum/index.php?topic=907.0)
Thanks Becky

Taken close to home in Maynooth College Kildare on 50mm lens. Film was rewound through the camera for Moon shots which were taken an hour later from the front garden with a 150mm lens.  I would have liked a bigger moon but 150mm is longest lens i have for 6*6.  A little extra contrast added to moon in PS

Those are really nice!  The second one is my fav of this group.
Now I just need to get you over here and hook you up with a telescope, since it looks like you're ready for the advanced class.

I'm still scanning mine- hope to have some to share in a few days.

Great work!!!!!

Next time, put more than one Moon in a frame.  ;D

These are really truly great Eddie - excellently done - so they're double exposures one for the main then another against a dark sky with the moon right? I love the  moving haze in the sky  and the smooth artificial light against the buildings.

Thanks  Becky and Leon, the detail in the sky was a welcome surprise.  The buildings are undergoing some renovations so I shot at unusual angles to avoid the builders scaffolding.

Very nice work, Any one of those shots I'd say would stand on their own, but the extra work to add the moon in there really adds a great dimension.
