Bron from Canberra, Australia
Magnificent shot Markus - did you use a tripod (or is that a silly question?)

@Bron: Hi Bron, that isn't a silly question and no, I have used a stack of books as I have broken my tripod (silly me).
Many thanks for the compliment!
@Veerendra: Many thanks Veerendra, very kind of you!

Wow - how you get the MOON so big and beautiful is wonderful.

@Rabbit: Thanks for the compliment!
My recipe is (after zillion tries): Maximum zoom, highest resolution you can set your camera to, then take picture and just a bit cropping afterwards to get the moon in a nice size...
@Pouhou: Hartelijk bedankt!
@Eleftheria, 9 years old,: Cheers!
@MaryB: Many thanks Mary, much appreciated!

Prachtig! Vanmorgen liet ik de hond uit met aan de ene kant de opkomende zon, de andere kant de volle maan, en ik had geen camera bij me! Gelukkig heb jij deze gepost, hartelijk dank!
