Great shot, this was the best i could get on Monday, taken with
my old Nikon 70-300 f4-5-6 on its own. I've found its a bit soft
at the 300 end, soon being replaced...

lol.. i tried.
Your guys' moon shots are AMAZING! Im jealous. I only had my 55-200mm on me.. and this was as close as i could get. The moon looked awesome in the storm clouds..so thought if try.

Whats the trick to getting a super good, clean shot? ( aside from a longer range lens..lol --is 300 enough )


Bump.

You can't get decent results but aiming a lens at the moon and triggering the shutter.. Stack a 1 stop and a 2 stop ND filter in front of your glass. Use a 400 with a doubler, manual focus, fire some frames. You get the picture.. There is one I shot of the moon tonight on my blog.

Ok...I'm totally new to this stuff... 1 stop? 2 stop ND filter???...400 w/ doubler? Lol
Can u be a little more specific...so I know what I need? Lol still learning the manual focus---i turned off auto was trying to take a quick pic before the clouds swallowed the moon again lol used the low light iso option on my cam. Wanna say it was 1800 ISO.

Honestly dont even like your shot, looks like something a scientist would like, but it just looks ugly, and also the last time i checked the moon wasnt blue.

My shot was taken with a tripoded d90+180mm 2.8 AIs at either f/4 or 5.6.

Well check again---cause the pic I took may be crappy and lack a lot but the moon is definetly NOT blue in the shot...its bright white. I don't like the pic either and it was also my FIRST moon shot, (2 days after buying the camera) I'm OBVIOUSLY a new to this. I was posting it for references and HELP to this theme thread figured somone had advice...not for someone to come along and tell me how much it sucks, and what a crappy job I did. So if your going to be a d***, keep ur C/C to yourself,. I don't want to hear your negativity.

I wasnt talking to you....

Ok, I appologize. I am on my cell phone and the quotes are confusing to make out. I thought I was. But sorry about that.
