Only as Good as My Tools
On February 20, 2008 there was a total lunar eclipse, full moon and a clear sky. It was an amazing sight. Something to be frozen in time by my fabulous Nikon D40 camera.
Here is my attempt with a 55-200mm zoom lens, a tripod and a remote control shutter release.
And, following is my Dad's picture with the same camera, free-hand, with a 70-300mm zoom lens which has a great internal stabilizing system.
Recap: I planned, set up a tripod, used a remote so as not to touch or move anything and got something that looks like a preschooler's visual interpretation of his pet turtle. My Dad walked out of his house, hoisted up the camera and snapped a picture that is worthy of the NASA website.
be kind to yourself! and start begging Daddy for one!

Funny you should say that, I didn't even ask and he is sending me one. Best Dad in the World Award goes to my Dad.
