According to National Geographic, last night was International Observe the Moon Night. So, I stepped out in the backyard to do just that a little after 7pm last night. For the ‘tight’ picture (above) I used a Canon 5d mark II, a 300mm lens and a 2x converter. To be accurate, though I also took the same picture with a 5omm lens, to get a little bit closer to what the moon actually looks like from my backyard.

I see it, the moon. Photographed on Sept. 18, 2010. Photo by John Clanton, The Oklahoman
