MM358 -light - The Moon

Another clear sky tonight.  Car will need defrosting in the morning.  Luckily I'm not going anywhere. 
I've often tried, unsuccessfully, to photograph the moon using my long lens.  Tonight I tried again and the shutter again wouldn't work.  I moved  around the garden and tried a few shots and at first I was disappointed because the camera had worked by mistake and these twigs were in the way. But hey presto - I got a shot.  I know practically nothing about photography, but think this worked because the moon is too far away, but the lens focussed on the twigs.
