    Gma that is a GREAT moon pic, I can see a high level of detail. Did you use a tripod or balance the camera on something for a long exposure?

    I just balanced the camera and used my auto control on my canon sx510. That is why this was so surprising.

    We had freezing rain the other day:

    Hi Gma, your ears should have been burning last night Irish time. I was at a reception for being so lucky as to have had a picture of mine selected for a calendar and I was telling people about your incredible views recorded across the seasons, especially the hole in the fence ones. At the reception as well as seeing a huge selection of the photos entered we were treated to entertainment from a Ladies Barbershop Chorus led by a lady from NY. Great night!
