Moon Shot

The weekend is almost here.

Time for 

Please join the gang HERE to see more beautiful sky images.

I've debated whether to show these images or not.  I've always been curious about taking photos of the moon and I've tried it a few times with no success.

Lately I've been using my 70-200 VR lens so I decided to try it again.  I didn't even google "how to shoot the moon", just went out and winged it.

So be gentle on me

 

This first one was taken early in the evening as I was shooting clouds and sunsets. I think the sky is too blue.

This one was taken approximately at 10:00 pm on a different night.  There were clouds drifting over the moon intermittently. I took a couple others but they were overexposed.  One or two was on bulb and this one was just a timed exposure.  Both these are cropped quite a bit. 

What are your secrets for capturing moon photo's?

I'll go google it now and do some research. 

This is one the photos I was shooting of the clouds. See the moon way up there in the top right hand corner?

Have a great Friday everyone.
