no photoshop of colors/contrast.

The moon's mean radius is 1,079.6 miles (1,737.5 kilometers).
Double those figures to get its diameter: 2,159.2 miles (3,475 km).
The moon's equatorial circumference is 6,783.5 miles (10,917 km).

imagine the impact of some of those blast radius's and lava fields.
Nice, the last one looks like it's got the best white balance unless the moon was really low in the sky. It looks like you got the focus right on. It's unfortunate, the full moon is an appealing subject, but it's really not as interesting as a quarter or partial moon. Because it's so illuminated, you lose some detail on most of the face. When the moon is partial, the shadows like you see at the edge of the full moon are more prominent and make the photo more interesting.

These have had the contrast and sharpness tweaked a bit.





Not that it really makes much difference, but this one was taken from the top deck of a boat on the Amazon river.
