I must admit I have been lax in both my shooting and posting recently, perhaps due to the fact my wife has now retired, and we are spending a LOT more time together doing various activities.

The Sun and the Moon: Edited to add last photo
I wanted to see how my 50 year old Canon FD 800mm f/5.6 s.s.c. would handle photographing both the Sun and the Moon.

Have you done any post-processing to them or is this straight out of camera? The colors look nice, but the blacks are a bit too crushed. In the second pic, there is heavy compression in the sky so not sure if this is due to the upload size here.
How long did you expose for?
In the second shot the lines don't merge and create one connected path but instead you can see every single car with their own streak.
It all depends on what your settings are - then we have a starting point.
These are processed and I appreciate the feedback I set my shutter speed to 20 seconds on the first and last one but the second I set it to 10 seconds
