With all the talk about the super moon, I thought I might as well give it a try too. Plus, I got a how-to email about photography that suggested a different setting than what I have used in the past and thought I would try it. It worked pretty well I think. ISO 200 f/11 @ 1/125 of a second.
Beautiful detail and composition--thanks for sharing your settings, too!
(I have the same kind of Canon camera and I am determined to get a moon photo....one of these days)!
I'm with Paula @paulam and I'm definitely going to try those settings myself next time, I have never managed a decent shot of the moon. This is a 'super' shot Skip. Fav.
@gilbertwood - Thank you Denise for your kind words!
@elaine55@vickisfotos - I am replying to both of you since your comments were similar. Awhile ago I happen upon a photographer named James Beltz who has a website./blog called Photo Tips. His advice has really helped me. He suggests for shooting the moon a different way of coming up with the best exposure for your camera. It is more in depth than I want to write here so if you'd like check out either Photo Tips or James Beltz on YouTube. I was surprised when I saw this with a shutter speed of 1/125 of a second which almost be hand held depending on how steady you are. I am afraid that I am not. But if you are using a 200-500 mm lens that will be pushing hand holding your camera.

Thank you all for for your wonderful comments and favs! I am overwhelmed by your heartwarming comments! I apologize for the group reply, but it has been another bust day. My oldest granddaughter will be leaving for Illinois soon to go to school so we took her car in to have it looked over. The garage did me a favor working it in, so it tied up my day not knowing when they would call and say it was finished.
