Good morning! What lens are you using? Anything over 200 should get you a good picture. With clouds it is hard to get a good one. It is so bright it lights up everything around it. A pretty shot tho.;)

Starting this early so everyone trying can find it. Lets see all the Hogs try at least one shot! Good or bad, lets make this a fun thread!:) If it's cloudy, take one anyways. They can be beautiful too!

The moon was so much prettier with the clouds around it, but this was the best I could do. I think I need a stronger lens, but this is it!

I don't know what to say Jim. Two very pretty pretty things to look at.:)

Here's my attempt, couldn't seem to get the camera to meter on the moon properly, all my shots were blown out like this one. Used spot metering with my 75 - 300mm auto focus full auto setting

Here are my first attempts. Not great but better than I did earlier in August. These were taken about 11:15 last night. It was pretty clear. Had to wait until then because of the woods surrounding us. There's only a short time when I have a clear shot.

Here is my pic on the Blue moon take 9-1-12 about 1:00 AM. On a tripod used Live View and 5 sec shutter delay. No PP

Canon T3i 70mm x200mm f4L IS lens . 1/6 sec at f/22, ISO 100 with 2X extention

Not to bad Kathie! Are you using spot focusing? Might want to try an use manual if you are on a tripod. You just missed it by a little.

Tell me what your settings were. It is the same as taking day time shots. I always lock the ISO at 200. And the shutter at 250=350 aperture F9-16

Thanks. I was using manual and a tripod. Just couldn't get it quite right. Now it's raining so I'm not sure I'll be able to try again tonight.

Erv Loc: Medina Ohio

I can make a list of the best ones. There were a lot of them. I am not going to number them tho. I am not a judge:) Everyone did a good job for the level they are at! Might take me a day, with all the shots I have to look at. And I thought work was hard!:)
