Moon + Contrail

I was taking late afternoon moon shots a couple weeks ago as this contrail was drifting across the sky. Lucky timing for me, as I was all set up (telephoto lens and tripod) to capture it! Kind of interesting looking, don't you think??

    Yes...it is rather interesting...nice contrast. I rather like the daytime shots of the moon....if only the fog would lift so I could see the moon!!

    Wow, beautiful views! Would love to knowhow to do moon captures ... is there a way to capture the moon without a telelens? The closest I have to a zoomlens is a Tamron lens.
