Surprised myself here since I'm usually out right terrible at these types of shots.... Advantage=equipment... {} Dusk Moon by RedTail_Panther, on Flickr
Nice. I took one very much like it last night with my 5N/55-210 combo. I sorta jazzed it up a bit though. See it here.
I did a shot like this with my nex5n and 55-210mm, using a tripod, i share here. The big moon | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
Pretty good - I would say a tiny bit over exposed and ( for me ) black and white suits the moon best. Here's mine to compare :- {} crop from NEX at 320mm by markoneswift, on Flickr Hand held with NEX-C3 and Canon FD 70-210 F/4.0, crop from original in Photoshop CS5. Slight levels adjustment.
Thanks! Tell you what though, after many-a-night in the Middle East, I've seen quite a few moons that were not black and white
Indeed, I've seen quite a few here in the UK that have the lovely orange / brown colour to them. I do find that shooting in black and white helps to get rid of chroma noise though, as there is no colour information in the shot except on the moon itself. Cheers
