Not quite a full moon but I figured I would get some large craters with possibly more detail. But I like this shot anyway so here it is. I took this out on my deck tonight and because of the high humidity today there was a very thin sheet of frozen ice. I almost went slipping and sliding a couple times with tripod and camera.
Here is one of the best links that I've seen on Moon Images.
It explains in detail the how's, do's and don'ts of moon photography. I found it very useful and for one of my first attempts I don't think this is that bad. Possibly could be a bit sharper but then again I'm not sure. It goes without question I used my tripod, and delayed release with the infra red remote.

This type of Lunacy may kill us all! You or me first I think, I will most likely go from Dengue fever from the Mossies or a broken neck from trying to check the focus, I find it hard to think anything but well of Moon Sgots boy they are tricky.
ReplyDeleteEdmund, this is a fantastic shot! I'm not sure you should risk life and limb in an icy fall, but you did get great results for your effort!
ReplyDeleteReally nice shot, I wish I could get one like this! Glad you didn't fall getting it, what we don't do for a picture!
ReplyDeleteThis is a GREAT shot! I'm envious, I tried to shoot the moon last night and I am too ashamed to post what I got. I came in this am to read how to shoot the moon and found this picture as well. Thanks for the advice, I will use it.
ReplyDeleteGreat result even if you did risk your limbs to get it!
ReplyDeleteI think it is an awesome shot! Great detail. Very glad you kept your footing.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding moon shot! Glad you remained upright long enough to share it with us!
ReplyDeleteTerrific shot. I'm still trying to get one that shows that much detail!
