Yesterday evening I took the long drive out to the Palm Jumeirah to take part in an event organized by the Emirates Photography Club. About one hundred shooters showed up to capture the full moon, including a few guys with mammoth lenses. I was able to borrow an 80-300mm lens from a colleague. While it wasn't of much use shooting the moon, it did help in capturing the Burj Al Arab. Unfortunately, the spot chosen for this even produced a rather undramatic background. Still, it was good to meet new enthusiasts and to take the challenge of shooting the moon.
