For the Sake Of It

Got tired of making the attempt at what I would have like to achieved with the full moon. I was having a red hot go. Would like to ask, what was I meant to set my camera at? Any suggestions would be appreciated
The only thing I did differently was I had m ISO at 200. But your settings look fine to me. Maybe tweak the saturation, brightness and contrast in post processing just slightly? Other than that I think you did a great job! And there's a lot of detail after the contrast tweak(I tried it!)

It looks great to me! Its raining here, so no moon for a second night here!

@dishaparekh176 Thanks Disha, I thought it might have been the ISO, did lots of shots with different combinations. Will try some post processing & see how it turns out

Looks great to me. ... Especially if this is pre-processing!

Just checking out your exif info, and I also had my ISO at 100 when I took my last moon shot. It looks amazing to me :-)

It's a wonderful shot but, I love your other one better!

I had my ISO way too high for the first gazillion shots. Last night was really my first attempts at night, so I was tweaking settings just to see what would happen.

Ho check Exif info on a few moon shots. They will all be diff. You just have to fiddle. Well done on this one. I still havnt mastered moon shots

@nikkic Thanks Nikki, I did go & have a look & did so after I uploaded my first set of shots. Got totally confused with it as there is so many combinatons . Just another challenge we have on our list, I guess

@allisonrap Thanks Allison, if I was closer to the big ball I would have got the detail I wanted is what is the bother, I think. When I bumped the ISO up it was too bright. Will keep trying though

So hard to shoot the moon but you have done a great job. Love the positioning.

Nice shot of what is usually tough to capture

I think we've all had a go at this in the past few nights ...good effort

Very cool moon shot! : )

Hey Wendy, I think you did an awesome job but if your looking for some tips there is a discussion thread called shoot the moon that you might want to look at. (sorry I don't know how to link to a thread!) I used a tripod, mirror lock up and exposure bracketing for my shot but I still didn't capture the detail I'd like to! I guess persistence is the key!!!

@wenbow thank you so very much!

@rah2012 Thanks Lara

I think you did well. Don't think there is a one fixes all setting for moon shots just have to play with it.

@copperheadglass Thanks Meredith

Much, much better than mine! Yours looks like a distinct moon!

great shot wendy! I tried to get a shot on saturday but no luck....

It looks fine to me! Perhaps a rabbit in the moon to make it special?
