Middle exposure was 1/60, F/8, ISO 100.Wow. the conventional wisdom is that a full moon is less interesting than a gibbous moon, because of the shadowing. But this one pops out. Details on the exposure?
I would have thought 1/60 would give blur on moon? Especially on a 3 shot -shot?
Very nice colors though..
You're right about the exposure vs motion blur. The moon is pretty bright and so movement is not an issue.I would have thought 1/60 would give blur on moon? Especially on a 3 shot -shot?

Nancy, although the moon moves a teensy bit faster than the stars you can use the '500 rule' to avoid motion blur.

so for 100mm about 5 secs is max. On the super moon shot I just posted with the ferris wheel I used (I think @180mm about 1 sec) so had about 2 sec fudge room. Your only real problem usually is overexposure with the moon, and not motion blur.
