Description
An interesting picture of the Moon, Jupiter, and Venus. The clouds moved just right to create a Jack-o-Lantern.* This image has not been digitally modified. However, if you saw these in real life the stars should be south of the moon. Like such [link]
*Taken from a remote location near Lake Jackson in Florida.
I could not have planned to have taken this photo, definitely God's hand with this one

This is amazing.. What did you use to take this? Specific lens? I just can't get over how well this was taken. ^^

Lets see, it was a Nikon D40X on a tripod. I used a longer exposure than usual, that is the reason for blurred clouds. I used a decent zoom lens, but non-telescopic and not a wide-lens.
I did not plan for this shot, the clouds just seem to have moved in the right way. It was a bit creepy looking at the final image out in the middle of nowhere...
Shutter Speed / Exposure time - camera data says 50/10 secs with an aperture of F/4.8

Ah, well... then you should also know that a tripod is necessary for night shots and that if you take a picture of the moon, it will not photo as big as it looks.
Above all though, EXPERIMENT!! Tis the best way of learning with art

Oh I definitely know about the tripod. ^^ I tried night shots without one when I was more inexperienced and was sorely disappointed. lol
But I'm so going to take my camera out at night more often! ^^
