Er....uh.....seems like what you'd call mooning the moon. :fear:

Im not an expert but many people taking moon pics think that because its dark that a longer shutter speed in needed when in fact a faster one is needed... I have to agree with Kelly (again not that I'm an expert) I like using the manual features of the the camera and only rarely use the auto settings... along with manual focus but thats just me.

The "Super Moon looked its biggest when it first broke over the horizon unfortunately there were many obstacles in the way for me... but it still looked awesome!

Here are a couple taken last summer while it was still daylight out ... I need to get more involved in setting the white balance

Great shots! I missed the supermoon. I don't know why. I just woke up the next morning in someone's backyard doghouse, my clothes were all ripped and blood was dripping from my mouth.

My neighbors were talking about that guy. Had I known it was you, I could have brought some breakfast out to you. :mrgreen:

Tried again this morning, kinda just to see how much I'd need to change the settings (from what I used on the full moon) to capture this one correctly. So, yeah. A lot different.

Kelly, with that lens, try stopping down to f/8 or even more for this type of work as it may get you optimal sharpness (though you may have to at least use a monopod like that).
