definatly not handheld!! the lens is extremly long so it kept getting to shaky! i used a tripod!

I took a stab at handheld last night with my 100-400mmL. That is a beast! It turned out pretty good. My settings were f/16, ISO 200, 1/400

Why surely! It isn't the best but for handheld I thought it was ok. I had to look up which also created more of a challenge.

Well thank you Caitlyn! I rarely use a tripod. Usually for shots with a big lens or shutterspeed slower than 1/60 but I am gonna practice more handheld for those. Here is a better shot of the moon where I did use a tripod and also did a little editing in photoshop. The exif info is 1/400, f/9, 400mm focal length ISO:400 taken on 1/20/2011.

I hope you do not mind, but you said the magic word-"Sony". I love my Sony. This was taken with my first Sony, an a500 using a Sony 300mm lens. Hand held No less! I have not yet been able to duplicate it or take as nice of a shot even when using a tripod. Val might appreciate this since she is that good and I'm not. LOL. Oh, yeah. No photoshopping. Just pure luck.
taken 6, june, 2011 @ 855pm. F 5.6 @ 1/60 sec. ISO 200.

Moon shots need brightening and a touch of contrast to bring out the character of it. Cmon peeps...make the moon glow !

Hope you don't mind tainkc, I love that you didn't PS your moon, and I cant get a good shot of the moon till I improve my glass, so I did what PWhisperer asked and did it up. Only I used Lightroom 3, I adjusted the chromatic abrasion, gave it some contrast, sharpened it up, enlarged it a bit, and adjusted the color. Thanks so much, and I truly hope I didn't overstep any boundaries here. If I did I apologize.
