Shooting the moon

[David LaPell]

I went out tonight and set up the tripod, dodged the mosquitoes and watched the bats fly around. I have been wanting to get a decent shot of the moon for a while now, and most were good, but something was missing, and that was a night shot. I got a couple of good ones.

Please, what camera and lens did you use? Any change in exposer or did you use what the camera's meter called for?

That's my Sony DSC-H200 with the lens it came with. It has a 36x zoom. As far as settings, I was running it on its manual settings, the F stop at 3.0, ISO at 80. I set it up on my tripod and just started snapping. I don't have Photoshop, everything is done with Windows Photo Manager or whatever the program that came with the computer.

if clouds cooperate tonight I might get an orange full moon setting over the San Juan mountains from my deck
