Cloud opened for a moment

I haven't taken many night sky shots. The sky was cloudy but did show the moon for a moment. Have no idea how to get a good moon shot but I did like how the cloud came out in this one, not so much the moon!

Have been very busy so unable to view and comment, sorry everyone, I will try to catch up

Wow, perfect shot! The moon seems to be sitting atop the clouds, just floating!

I think this is a great capture of the moon - moody......just how I like to think of the moon!

Good shot Diane. I have a bit of trouble with moon shots also - usually because I forget when it is a full moon

Excellent shot, Diane. Love the light on the clouds, very dramatic and a wee bit eerie.
July 15th, 2014  
A different kind of moon shot, and I like it. Like the dark brown tones, and the wispy white cloud. It all works. Fav

Wow, great capture! I've not had any luck with capturing the moon but you've done well here, so moody with the clouds.
July 16th, 2014  
Great shot, but as you see the moon is over exposed. My husband is the person who takes moon shots and also planets etc too with his camera set on the telescope, but if you are interested he said have your camera on Manual and set exposure at 1/400th sec, aperture f8, ISO start at 800 and if it is too dark then try 400 ISO and maybe even 200 ISO. Give it a go and see how it goes. Maybe a tripod could be the way to go too, that would stop any movement.
I must try some moon shots, not tried it yet, but too cold at the moment for me.

Nice capture of the clouds and moon

Much more interesting having the clouds as part of the composition
July 16th, 2014  
Great shot of the moon and the clouds.
July 16th, 2014  
@onewing Thanks Babs, I will certainly try it, please thank your husband for me. I knew the moon didn't look very good, now I now why!
July 16th, 2014  
that is a brilliant moon shot! well done
fav
July 16th, 2014  
I really like this. My moon shots never seem to come out true to colour.
July 16th, 2014  
Beautiful mood shot Diane! Ominous with the cloud, reassuring with the full moon.
July 16th, 2014  
I really like the comp in this one.
July 16th, 2014  
I think you have done very well to capture this gorgeous night sky. This is something I just can't seem to manage yet on my wee camera - everything is too far away.
July 17th, 2014  
Perfect timing a lovely capture!
July 17th, 2014  
This is great! I think it is fantastic! I have been taking some moon shots lately but have not liked how they have turned out. I need to keep practicing. :D!
July 18th, 2014  
Very nice Diane.
