The moon is a favourite subject for many of us. It seems it can always be done a little better than your last try. The contrast between the lit moon and the earth at night is pretty big, and atmospheric haze creates problems photographing from earth. A great photographic challenge in other words.
This particular photo of the full moon is interesting because it was shot with video (on a tripod) - RAW video with Magic Lantern on a Canon EOS 5D II - using an EF 100-400mm L lens. I used 240 of the best frames from the sequence and median stacked them in Photoshop in order to eliminate atmospheric haze and random image noise to get a 'superresolution' final file, in 32-bit floating point color space no less. The colors are natural, but heavily enhanced in order to see the various mineral deposits.
