gundidepp commments below about the "sepia" toning of the image. It turns out that the color resulted from the Photomatix process I used to compress the tonal range of the original image. When I tried to do a more standard b&w view, many of the finer details disappeared. The photo was taken in the morning after the sky was already blue, as shown in the photo in the comments.
Photo was taken with a Konica-Minolta 7D using a Tamron 170-500 mm zoom at 500mm. Technical information is available, but I haven't been able to figure out how to get to it, since I have never bothered trying in the year and a half I've had the camera. I really wish I had been able to use my newer Sony α-100 camera, but I can't use a cable release with it (actually, it does have a connection for a release, I just don't own the release, yet.

Thanks for your kind comments and favorites!
A full moon was rising over a misty sky as the sunlight lit up the misty cirrus clouds that gave a vivid orange glow to contrast with the blue night and white reflections. The moon controls are ocean tides and is our only satellite the firth largest one in our solar system. It takes 29 days to orbit the earth. It is about 92 million miles away. It is about 1/4 the size of earth and is more egg shaped then round. There is no atmosphere and no wind and temperatures can vary from from 253° F (123° C) to -387° F (-233° C). Humans landed on the moon in 1969 and brought back moon rocks. One human had there ashes sent to the moon on a spacecraft in 1999. The moon inspires lovers, poets, scientists, artists and many songs. Sometimes I want to give the moon a big hug and say thanks for being there to reflect the sun and help us tell time and just looking cool.
Testing the new lens and saw this image unfolding in the sky above me.........would have been better with a smaller aperture but I like it.
و القمر قدرناه منازل حتى عاد كالعرجون القديم .. سورة يس، آية 39
"And the Moon, ---We have measured for her mansions (to serve) till she returns like the old (and withered) lower part of a date stalk."
I cropped the actual shot and it seems closer than using 200mm coz its 10.2 Megapixels =)

When I'm on my way home, I saw the moon from the window of a car. It amazes me that time because of its greenish glow and the effect of the passing clouds.
When i got home, I told myself that I'll take a picture of it after taking some rest.
After taking some rest, I prepared my camera and the tripod before going out. I saw the moon again, unfortunately, its glow has changed to white. Still, I took shots of it and here is the best out of so many trials.
One thing I have learned is this, there are two ways on how we can take pictures of the moon. First, you can setup your aperture to it's biggest number and shutter speed should be greater than 1 second. Second, you can use the smallest aperture with a shutter speed of less than 1 second. The ISO should be 100 for both of the given scenarios.
Note: If you don't have a tripod, take option two. On my case, I took option two even if i have a tripod because I'm more comfortable in holding my camera when taking shots. Try it yourself!
This is the story of this shot.
Thank you for reading and i hope you'll follow my future posts. :)

My first successful moon photo.
lens:55-250mm.
tips: switch to spot metering, focus on the moon, use tripod, click. longer exposure time is not necessarily required as moon is a brighter object.
cheers!
The full moon Friday night will be the biggest one of the year as Earth's natural satellite reaches its closest point to our planet.
Earth, the moon and the sun are all bound together by gravity, which keeps us going around the sun and keeps the moon going around us as it goes through phases. The moon makes a trip around Earth every 29.5 days. But the orbit is not a perfect circle.
The moon's average distance from us is about 238,855 miles (384,400 km). Friday night it will be just 221,560 miles (356,567 km) away. It will be 14 percent bigger in our sky and 30 percent brighter than some other full moons during the year, according to NASA.
The Moon
by Robert Louis Stevenson
The moon has a face like the clock in the hall;
She shines on thieves on the garden wall,
On streets and fields and harbour quays,
And birdies asleep in the forks of the trees.
The squalling cat and the squeaking mouse,
The howling dog by the door of the house,
The bat that lies in bed at noon,
All love to be out by the light of the moon.
But all of the things that belong to the day,
Cuddle to sleep to be out of her way;
And flowers and children close their eyes
Till up in the morning the sun shall arise.
The Wolf Moon is a full moon that occurs in January. Its name comes from hungry wolf packs that would howl outside the villages of Native Americans. This full moon is also known as the Old Moon or the Moon After Yule.
It was 5 degrees when I bundled up and went out to get this shot.....but it was well worth it, the moon was huge and bright!

Blue moon, you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own
Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper "please adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold
Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper "please adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold
Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Lorenz Hart, Richard Rodgers
Practising with my new X2 Converter added to my 400 Zoom, manual focus only...a real challenge with my astigmatised left "eyepiece" eye through my grubby glasses.
I did use a monopod, which helped a bit...

Shot of full moon as seen from Dallas-Fort Worth area on a cool winter night with my new 300mm lens. Shutter priority, 1/400 sec, f/5.6, ISO 200, 300mm. I added a little color for artistic effect. Thanks for the lens, Mike.
I realized there was a full moon last night right as I was getting ready to go to bed. I went out and spent a few minutes trying to shoot the moon anyway. I think I hit it. ;) It's shining pretty bright so you don't get the edges with this one but I got a nice detailed moon nonetheless that will make a lovely object for layering when I want a moon.
This is straight out of the camera except for a crop.
Updated because I just realized I never posted the info:
Exposure: 0.001 sec (1/1250)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 300 mm
ISO Speed: 400
Exposure Bias: 0/3 EV
