Full Moon 4-7-2012

The skies around here have been clear, both during the day and the night. Since it is a full moon, I decided to try and capture the moon again while it was low in the sky and appears bigger. This time, I used my Sigma 70-300 lens. Completely sooc.

@morrist Thank you Theresa, now that I know how to do it I enjoy taking the moon
@peterdegraaff Thank you Peter, other full moons here have been overcast, so when it isn't I am out there snapping away.

Beautiful shot. I am enjoying these bright nights! What's the secret of capturing the moon? You must have used a tripod, for starters.

wonderful capture!!

@goodnouc Thank you Christine, actually you don't need a tripod. Since the moon is so bright in comparison to everything else you have to put it on manual and manual focus with settings similar to mine - 1/200 sec. f/5.6, ISO 125
@cscecil Thank you Carolyn, now that I know how to do it, I enjoy capturing the moon

Great capture of the moon! Thanks for posting the tip on how you took the shot. I was able to take one and now can not recall how I did it.

@naomi Thank you Naomi, and I had to do it on manual :)
@grannysue Thank you Linda, studying the lighting needed for the moon has made me more cognizant of how to use light in my photos
