The moon +/- Supermoon

The recent 'supermoon' seemed to be capturing everyone's attention and whilst I wasn't personally blown away with the increased 'apparent' size, there was no disputing the increase in brightness! Cloudy skies (for me) on the 14th, when it was full, meant I had to settle with images before and after. All were taken with the 500m lens plus 1.4 extender.....

Here it is on 12th November 2016



And on the 16th November 2016



And finally this evening 18th November 2016. Still shining brightly!


I photograph the moon quite often and the main difference seemed to be the brightness of crater walls!
