Can others edit my Photos
Photos NOT OK to edit
They there. Post you best moon shot here as well as the camera/lens you used and any other notes or story to go with it.

Here is my best shot. I used a Canon rebel xs with a canon 75-300mm lens.

I haven't done many moon shots and my camera & lens are mediocre at best (the infamous kit lens, the Vivitar Series 1 fixed 500 mm lens coupled to a Canon T6) but here ya go! Yes, there is some editing but not much, really.

Here's another that I superimposed onto a pic of my motorcycle next to the Skyway Bridge in St. Pete. Same camera but w/Canon EFS 18-55mm lens.

Are you aware of the Luni 11 Rule? If not, when it's dark and the moon is out just put your camera on a tripod, (use that nice zoom lens you have and zoom in all the way) focus in, camera set to F11, ISO 100 @ 1/125 sec. Either use the ten sec. timer or a remote shutter release and that's it. You can do it! I'll be waiting on the results.
Almost forgot, if it's daytime and using a big zoom lens hand held use a shutter speed of like 1/500 or faster. If they are coming out blurry still just put it on a tripod and the 10 sec. timer. You could go as low as 1/60 on ISO 100 for that if you wanted. Can't say what the light is going to be like for that, probably a bigger aper than F11, so the F stop will be your choice. Just try different F stops to see what looks best. GL!
