Show us your Moons
 

I've never taken a shot of the moon before but I'm considering doing one this evening when the full moon rises. Not long to go now, actually. Not read up about settings so will just try different ones and see what works. Anyway, it would be good to see some of your pics. This can be the moon pic thread. :D

Ive tried a few times, bloomin thing moves very fast!

Good luck.

You will need long focal length lens (200 mm a bit short so longer if poss.) Sharper the better.

The moon is quite bright so normal sort of daylight photo settings (depends how full or new the moon is) You won't need long exposures.
If camera is left to auto expose it will most likely get it wrong as most of the image is black.

Tripod is useful but I have taken pics without.

As you say, take a few and have look - then adjust.

Don't get too cold :}

Just been outside - my moon shot from tonight would consist of snow blowing horizontally.:}

I took a couple but wasn't happy with them. Will get some pics up tomorrow.

There we go for starters....

A picture of my moon would result in a ban from the Forum :shrug::eek:

What about Uranus ?

Don't you mean A n u s ;-)
