Pictures of the moon

Another thing to try is to take your pictures in the daytime before the moon sets. Sometimes you can enhance the photo quickly and simply to get a nice moon shot in a much darker sky than it actually was when photographed.

I have been trying to take pictures of the beautiful full moon we have been having and I'm not forsure what I am doing wrong. I am new at this. My camera is new. It is a Sony DSLR- a330-a380. I am trying to take a pictire of it as close as I can get to the moon. Most of the time my pictues are turning out blurry. Can anyone please give any ideas of what I should be doing and what I am doing wrong? Like I said I am new to this and really do what to learn. I do appreciate any help. Thank you.

I to have been trying for a while to get a decent image of the moon - I think I got it this time (10/14/11). Details ISO 100 f/13 1/25 sec 400MM prime lens on a tripod.....I like it.

(from "Leadstory" ) - "My day-old Supermoon pic was taken hand-held. I imported into Photoshop and inverted the color so the golden moon came out bright blue. The glow behind it was a different photo from the night before and I put it on a separate layer under the blue moon."
very nice idea on your Blue Moon adaptation. We all most likely have a few moon shots in our archives, but that same old "white orb on black" hasn't been tweaked by too many others, as far as I have seen, no matter how clear and crisp the shot has been.

Hi Loriann, my name is Robert. I put my Canon T2i in Bulb Mode (kept shutter open for 12 seconds), Tripod, Wireless Remote Control, dropped my exposure bracket -3 stops, ISO @1600, Zoomed in to 300mm (Canon 75-300) f/8, no flash, and cropped final result to fill the frame.
Here are a couple of examples of the Full Moon on 2-16-11. I hope this helps.
GOD Bless,
Robert

Hi LoriAnn
The usual probem with moon images is that most think that is is a "night" shot, and they attempt to use all the slow shutters or high ISO's that go along with night shots..
It is not really that.. The moon is in full sunlight - that's why we see it so well; so you need to approach it as if taking a daylight photo.
The old Sunny-16 rule for daylight applies here.. ISO 100- f16-1/100 shutter.. I think that this exposes to the "standard neutral grey" though, so I expose a stop brighter..
The biggest issue, I feel, is focus and the capability of your equipment to resolve something that far away..

Pictures of the moon hand held
Really nice shots and thank you for posting the settings that you used for novices like me. I can't believe how sharp they came out being that the camera was hand held...
