Daytime Moon

I have always been intrigued by seeing the moon in the daytime. Even after so often, and understanding the science that we see the moon because of the reflected sunlight (so it can be seen day and night), it somehow still triggers a response.

The view outside the balcony @ 7.37am yesterday. Putting my FZ35 on a tripod, disabling the Image Stabilization, sacrificing the resolution to 3 megapixels in order to get the optical zoom to 38X (949mm equivalent in 35mm SLR term), I was able to get the following:

In order to minimise any camera shake, the shot was taken using the self-timer, rather than pressing the shutter button. Of course the digital "noise" (the grainy look and color artifacts) in the photo was unavoidable due to the small sensor in the FZ35 (much smaller than those in the DSLRs).
