John, When I look at this beautiful photo, I can immediately see in my mind how that artist in Tofino, Roy Henry Vickers, would translate this into one of his paintings using shadow images in the moon and the sky. No idea how, even with the specifications you have shared, it’s possible to get the moon that sharp as well as everything else so it’s better to just let that go and just enjoy the beauty.
Yes, it would be fun to put an eagle into that moon, but only painters are allowed to do that.
re: boat and moon in focus
The boat is a long way away, far enough that, in focus terms, it’s at infinity. As is the moon. So they are both ‘in focus’.
Thanks for you comments as always.

Wow, what an evocative image.
We hope to see you and Nicki when we meet Micheila and Bill in Ganges July 17-20th. Hope to have you down to the boat for appies and drinks if you’re around…
Can’t tell you how much we enjoy beginning each day reveling in your work and talent. Thank you, John.
That is a stunning photo John, I have a favorite memory of crossing Hecate Strait with a full moon lighting the way, so powerfully beautiful!
Thanks Jeanette. It’s great to be on the water on a bright summer night.
In awe, John! Stunning!
What lens and camera were you using?

I’ve updated the post with the camera info.

We’re looking forward to seeing you (and those tardy mexicans).
You did a great job here. this looks great.
Thanks Stefan. By the way I see fine work whenever I visit your photo of the day site.

Very evocative, John. It definitely has an artistic streak.
