Just a couple more photos

I just had to show you the moon tonight. I normally wouldn't have seen it but Mike was outside and told me to bring the camera. ---A few people have asked me how I got the moon and not just a white circle. I put my camera on manual and set my speed to at least 125. This one is 1/200 at F6.3. This one is still a little dark. Remember, the moon is bright like the sun so you need a faster speed.---


This is one of the hibiscus in the back yard.


Last one I promise!! I finally got a good photo so I can rest easy now.

    I haven't gotten a good moon shot like that yet. Guess I'll just have to try harder! Good one, Carla!
