Shooting the Moon

The moon is lighted by the sun , so , why 1/8 of a sec . Since you will be shooting wide or close to open , 1/100 or faster would be it .

Because it was almost dark, and I was just playing around.

I admire how you step out occasionally and shoot stuff outside of your normal zone. Is that the result of your association with the camera club?

I don’t think so. I go out and look for barns, but sometimes I just see something and decide to give it a try.

When I shoot the moon at 1/8 second resting the camera on my truck window instead of using a tripod.
Interesting "double exposure"!
Nice sky...beautiful "blue hour" effect...nice details of the moon itself
I find the image rather attractive!
I'm surprised by the very slow S.S = 1/8sec.
Nothing wrong to select such a slow S.S...but for celest subjects like the moon, I believe it is better to set a quick S.S.: this avoids the blurry effect of the relativ move Earth/Moon
In fact, usually shooting the moon I get myself about 1/125 sec /ISO 100/f11.
It means, to drop down at 1/8 sec, ISO100 (=4 stops), one should set f64 instead f11.
Do You use a ND filter? Do You have a trick to drop down ISO as low as ISO8?

No ND filter. I was handholding with the lens resting on the truck window. ISO 200. No trick, just luck. Thanks for looking.

They do make a window mount that clamp onto a car window to minimize camera movement.
