BIG moon shots

May 6th, 2012
Here is mine, I didn't mess with the color, it is the way my point and shoot saw it. I have taken better shots with my film camera, for a point and shoot this is on the lower side of (ok) I know it will not be nearly as good as others that I hope will be posted here

@gareauk1 very nice, more clarity than my first one
May 6th, 2012
Here is another attempt taken just a couple minutes ago with a canon rebel

May 6th, 2012
My attempt. First time I ever messed with the Manual settings.

I tend to let the full moon be part of the landscape. I supposed I COULD crop everything out but the moon, but today's shot, its part of the landscape:

Moon it up!

May 6th, 2012
I took some with just the moon, but I preferred this one

May 6th, 2012
Just took this one.

May 6th, 2012
Clouds killed it here too. Sigh.

I took a better one last year, but this is this year's.

@tigerdreamer Beautiful shot with the silhouetted tree!
May 6th, 2012
I still can't get the oon with my p&s but I have some bigger bright light shots then on my phone anyway lol...but I had clouds followed by huge hail & lightening followed by rain now!
May 6th, 2012
my daughter's best shot from tonight...
May 6th, 2012
@jsw0109 I love this! By the time the moon made an appearance over the clouds here it was pretty dark to try and get any landscape. I wanted to so it would give a "relational" aspect... maybe another time... :-\
May 6th, 2012
@tigerdreamer LOVE this!
May 6th, 2012
behind the clouds...

and without clouds...
May 6th, 2012
@ladyjane @marilyn Thank You both, I was pretty happy with the shot.
May 6th, 2012
I took these both tonight. I really like the ones that include a landscape. @jsw0109

It's very cool how each photo is of the same side of the moon.

These are all wonderful.... we had a thick blanket of cloud too... good old English weather - all I got was cold.
@emmabass I think it's to do with the orbit and gravitational pull - we only get to see this side plus a little more as it oscillates around us... the only way to see the other side is with a space ship :) (but I'm up for it if anyone is offering a lift....!)

my first attempt at a moon shot taken a few minutes ago.

May 6th, 2012

My effort :)
May 6th, 2012
Some great moon shots here - it was too cloudy where I am, but there will be plenty more perigee moons in future so I wasn't too fussed!
May 6th, 2012
My first moon shot ever.
May 6th, 2012
@jsw0109 I love that shot, it makes it look so fantastic with the buildings and trees. Had to go to your page to Fav it!
May 6th, 2012
Mel
had to wait for the thing to get over the clouds tonight

May 6th, 2012
had to wait for a break in the clouds

@kathleenn pretty darn good for first time manual.
May 6th, 2012
@jsw0109 I like the landscape part, great shot

May 6th, 2012
@jsw0109 I like it as part of landscape. Very nice
May 6th, 2012
Here's my favorite, even though it's not super crisp (and it's not quite perigee):

And here's my second:

@emmabass Same side yes, but when looking at the pictures you will see a difference in the locations of the big crater depending on what part of the world you are shooting from. Notice the pics of these posted @mummarazzii @michellepj @tracywilliams all different, and there are more when you compare them

All these shots are fantastic. Any advice for a 1st time moon photographer?
May 6th, 2012
@lynne3804 I love the 'drama' the clouds add! Like they parted just for a peek at it, and then the curtains closed again!
May 6th, 2012
May 5th Super moon

I practiced the night before and came up with this one pre-supermoon
May 6th, 2012


Not very big, too many clouds on the horizon and I had to wait about 15 minutes into the moonrise for the clouds to break.
May 6th, 2012
@godders There is a thread in the tips area that has lot's of tips. The main one I have is whatever the meter reads, you need to under expose a lot. I looked at the photos and kept adjusting.

Wow, such gorgeous shots. Got this with my point and shoot, as good as I could get. The super moon over the San Diego skyline.

May 6th, 2012
@emsabh I really like the twilight one
May 6th, 2012
@tthompsonca That's great! I like the composition.
May 6th, 2012
@jsw0109 Thanks Jeff! I felt it was too dark at first but it's grown on me.
May 6th, 2012
@jsw0109 amazing moon Jeff - jealous, had only clouds here
May 6th, 2012
May 6th, 2012
too cloudy here last night, so here is my night-before moon. only the second one I had shot, need to see it again to improve !

May 6th, 2012
@sharonaddison to the naked eye, it will seem full when it rises tonight, and it should still have the same optical illusion when it breaks the horizon , but that does depend on atmospheric conditions. Look for it tonight

SUPER MOON ~ MOONSET 5-6-2012
After the cloudy horizon last night, I awoke to a clear as a bell Super moon ~ moonset
May 6th, 2012
This was my favorite super moon shot from last night.

May 6th, 2012
This was taken tonight 6 May. My "last night's shots", were rubbish!

May 6th, 2012
Mine is part of the landscape - it is not very big.

May 6th, 2012
Supermoon didn't seem all that super once it was finally above the mountains here so I could capture it! My first ever moon shot, though.
May 6th, 2012
May 6th, 2012
One of many moon shost I've taken so far. not yesterday's though.
May 6th, 2012
My first real attempt
May 6th, 2012
May 7th, 2012
Twas' the night before the Super Moon....

May 7th, 2012


Not as bright as some but my very first moon shot, still a lot of cloud in front but glad I got this !
May 7th, 2012

May 7th, 2012
May 7th, 2012
@emsabh Thanks Art, wanted to catch a few things in the shot which I was able to do in this shot.
May 7th, 2012
This was my supermon shot did not really find it to be super with all the cloud cover we had
May 7th, 2012
This was Thurs. eve - had to leave for eldest's graduation from college and didn't want to miss chance to give it a try.

May 8th, 2012
@katiebrenkert Thank you Katie! I was pretty pumped about the results!
May 8th, 2012
