Pizza lighting! Love the rust on the inner ring ...
Fallen behind on posting due to a spectacular hardware failure. When oh when will I learn not to be seduced by Dell's pricetag? Anyway, back online now, so I'll try to catch up over the weekend.
I've been so impressed byt the moon shots flowing through the stream that I've been trying for days to get one of my own. Tough with only 200mm at your disposal (for me at least) but this is the first one I've managed to get with some clearly defined craters. Amazing how close it seems when you can spot the details!
