This is the very first shot I have ever got of the moon that's turned out halfway decently...meaning that it didn't end up being little more than a pin prick of white against pitch black. And, I took this without a tripod. I was in a rush and totally forgot to grab it before I left the other night.
I'm pleased that it actually resembles the moon and not a golf ball against a black blanket, but I'm not real thrilled that it appears grainy (could have been the lack of a tripod or the ISO). I had just set the ISO to 100 before taking the shot, but for some reason it switched to 400. I just picked up the Sony a350 that I'm using and maybe I missed something, but am I wrong in thinking that a lower ISO would have produced less noise?
As always, thanks in advance for your thoughts, ideas and suggestions.
