Full Moon
It is usually really hard to get detailed pictures of the moon, especially a full moon. The moon is so bright that it is easy to end up with a photo that just looks like a bright ball in the sky.
After messing around with the camera settings for a while I finally started getting photos where you can actually see the details of the moon. The key in this case was a wide Aperture but short shutter speed, at only 1/200 of a second. I used my zoom lens (focal length 240mm in this photo) which helped too. The only thing I’m not sure about on this photo is the focus. I seem to always have trouble with that. I think I was using Auto focus but either the focus was off slightly or me cropping the image and zooming it in that way made this image look a bit blurry.
Oh well, I was still happy with the amount of detail I was able to capture in this image, but obviously I still need to practice some more. I think it is the best moon photo that I have taken so far.
