Full moon. December 2010 with Sony NEX-5, tripod, remote control and a Leitz Telyt 200mm lens plus a conversion ring<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. Happy Victoria day to all. According to the TV, this holiday’s name eludes most people these days as they seem to be non-British folk. The actual holiday is celebrated the first Monday on or just before the 24th. Initially, it was celebrated in Canada as Queen Victoria’s birthday. It has since been designated as the day we celebrate the birthday of the reigning Queen\/King of England and the commonwealth.<\/p>\n

Meantime, back to the post title. Eventually we all seem to decide to take a photograph of our moon. This is best done during a full moon and with a camera and telephoto lens sturdily mounted on a tripod. The moon at that time is surprisingly bright. It reflects our sun in the darkness of the night sky. In the above photograph, I used software to crop and sharpen the image captured by my little Sony mirrorless digital camera.<\/p>\n

The moon or other celestial bodies can be included in a photograph to add charm and peace. If you haven’t yet tried your hand at ‘moon shots’, try some out. Our fairs (our spring fair is this coming Sunday May 28, 2023) are a great source of telephoto lenses and tripods. Come on out and visit – you may find ‘must have’ items for your collection too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
