The rabbit in the moon

Posted by Hoshisato (Ealing, United Kingdom) on 26 October 2008 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.

The maria in the moon reminded the Japanese of a rabbit living on the moon where it makes mochi. Lots of photos of the moon at Aminus3.com recently and since this beautiful moon was hanging over my garden wall, I felt I couldn't stay behind.


Not as sharp as I would have liked but the optical resolution of the Sigma 28-300mm - 1:3.5-6.3 lens I used is not outstanding in any case (it was cheap though) and I took this handheld :-).

Thanks for all your comments, please keep them coming. You will do me a great favour by visiting my black and white gallery or blog. For my trip reports, please visit my Travel Blog page.
