First time shooting the Super Moon

[Trblmkr]

First time I've had a chance to go out and shoot the supermoon that wasn't on a week night. This was shot from the banks of Virginia at Jones Point Park, which is right under the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. Equipment used.. D7100, Nikon 70-200 VRi, Tripod, remote release.

Your exposure is better on your second shot. Too bad you cut the top part of the moon off.

Often, it's best to "shoot the moon" right before a full moon to get better exposure of both land and moon.
