A full moon sends everyone a little crazy, but capturing good moon photos is an extremely difficult photography art to master. A well done photograph of the moon can add atmosphere to a photo like nothing else, but most shots of the moon tend to be bland and disappointing.

So we decided to go and see what we could find in terms of fantastic moon photography.

Once again, the good Creative Common folks from Flickr have produces some exceptional photos of what is really an over-done, but usually poorly-done subject. They certainly seem to buck the average trend with these awe inspiring moon photos.

As always, you can find some more information at the end of the post about photographing the moon and how it should be done to produce results like these.

We're sure you will agree after seeing these photos that moon photography is a facet of this skill that you might like to learn someday!
