Try closing your Aperture to f/11 or f/16, increasing your exposure to 1/250 as a start then slow, and changing your ISO to 100. The moon is very bright and is moving fast so you need a fast shutter and low iso. I have been shooting the moon for a while now and those setting are a good place to start. Also, spot meter on the moon.
@cirasj Thanks for all the suggestions I will learn how to spot meter and then use these settings, Last night I tried every aperture setting,and the lowest ISO my camera would allow was 200..... and this was the best I could get, but I am looking forward to trying again.
Isn't it exciting when you finally get that first shot? Good job!! You will get a number of suggestions on how to shoot the moon. I've found that each camera has its own way of taking the shot. One thing I learned on here is to shoot with the lighting set on daylight. The moon is reflecting the sun and is usually quite bright. Looks like you have done that. I love taking moon shots and am outside at night quite often. I'm sure the neighbors wonder!
@olivetreeann Thanks Ann, yes it was exciting when I downloaded the pictures and actually had a few decent ones. I had googled how to take a photo of the moon and there were so many different suggestions. I think you're right, every camera and lens is different. I did use the daylight setting, that was one of the tips I had read on-line. Thanks again!
Good to get so much helpful advise too
