The moon again... by m2016

The moon again...

Another one I took of the moon last night, zoomed further in, again hand held, shot on auto. I rejected this one when I was uploading last night because I thought the edges weren't sharp enough but I guess it's not so bad. I must apologise in advance for boring you all to tears with future moon shots, but I'm loving this camera, it's very zoomy (technical term) ;)
I instantly knew this was taken with a Canon PowerShot because I have one as well and I have captured shots of the moon just like this with it many times before!

@ryanjasonphotography Lol, yes I think it's going to be a while before the novelty of moon shots wears off!

Its very impressive considering its hand held. I could only match the clarity with my D3300 if I use tripod. You must have a steady hand!

@rjb71 Well, of about 30 I took, maybe 3 or 4 were not horribly out of focus... mostly I was just clicking and hoping for the best!

@m2016 Even with a tripod I usually have to delete a few. Thats the joy of digital imagine if it was film.....

@gracefullyetched It's Canon's superzoom, I couldn't resist even though I was all set to get a mirrorless... that'll be next on the shopping list!

@m2016 Nice job - I actually tried this on my Sony a6000 (mirror-less - which I love) I think I'll go for the full-framed next time but for now it does the job (always about $$). Anyway - I tried to shoot it with my 55-210mm didn't get even close ---- I need to practice on moon shots a lot more-must be doing something wrong (again). So you did good if it's just P & S ---- I just saw another moon shot and he said he used 1100mm lens ---- don't even want to know the price tag on that but it would be nice - I'm just wondering why he didn't get all the planets behind the moon with that lens. ---------- You did great P & S or not. --- I have an old P & S with powerzoom - hmmmm maybe I should try it, thanks for the inspiration.
