Default The Moon and a sunset

These are mostly just clouds, but there is a moon in the corner, so I guess it counts as astrophotography. Taken with a Samsung S860

Well, I took that picture on either Saturday or Sunday, so I imagine some where around 4.5 billion years.

I'm actually not sure, although you may be able to tell from the image that it is about a quarter of the way full, so I'd guess something like 7-9 days?

no! i was thinking, about three / four days. five max. i reckon there is far too much sunlight for 7/9 days old first quarter is seven. doesn't look like it's reached first qtr yet. it's got lovely cusps. one could hang some rope and make a swing.

i was thinking of the really early Moon (a day or so old) pictures BAUTers post here. and in comparison, your nice picture. yah, it came out very well! is it possible for you to check data / history of the shots from your camera?
i am assuming these were shot more or less same time....like, inside an hour...

The pictures were taken on June 7th (within a few minutes of one another), so that means the moon must have been 4-5 days old. Here's a close-up

Thanks for all the positive feedback, guys.
