Full Moon

I've taken pictures of the full moon before with the D50. When I got the D80 I was excited to try again but was disappointed with the outcomes. So, I have tried again and obtained, I think, much better results by changing some of the parameters.

I settled on ISO 200, Aperture priority, f11.

You did well --- this is not easy to do. Your focus is very good as I know how hard it is to get a good focus when zoomed to this level. Only one suggestion, I tried using a EV setting of -2.0EV to under-expose the picture by a couple levels. I tried -1.0, -2.0, and -3.0 until I got the righ amount of light in my D80. The crater in the lower right side of the moon shows up a little better as a result.

Not saying this one is any better, but I used a -5.0Ev on this one to get a much darker version:

Well done. The moon can be a hard subject. I used ISO 100 F14 and 1/400th of a second for my shot.

Nice, clear shot. I know how hard it can be to get a good shot of the Moon, and you pulled it off quite nice.

Great moon shot!!! This has excellent detail. It took me a few tries before I got one I was really pleased with as well.
