Beautiful shot Christie! I have tried to get the same shots and it took me a few attempts to get it right as well. And it's an amazing feeling when you get the one you want!! 8-)

Christie, This is awesome! I have a shot of the moon/eclipse and it is really unique because I guess being impatient, I moved and it looks like a male part...LOL (maybe I will put it in my gallery one day). Warm Regards,

Great capture Christie. I had the same idea in mind, but where I live there were too many distractions in the picture. This is just beautiful. How did you do it?

Thank you so much for all of your extremely kind words! OK, so on the BP forum archives, if you search "Moon" then a bunch of previous questions/answers about this pop up. I used my Nikon 70-300mm VR lens (with VR on) at 280mm, put my camera on a tripod, set my D80 to "S" (Shutter Priority) and then used the recommended shutter speeds and found that f5.6, 1/500th shutter, ISO 400 was what gave me the most detail. Now, there was also a very big hint they gave - to get the most detail, you must capture the moon while it is just rising above the horizon. For me, since I live in Central IL, that meant I was shooting right around 8:30pm. When I tried it previously, I was shooting at about 10pm when the moon was too bright - thus giving blown out images. You can also search the "Sunny 16 rule" or the "Moony 11 rule" for exact data and explanation. I hope this helps! And thanks again for all of your kind comments!

Most folks try to use the camera's auto exposure, but it will always blow it out. There's a nice reference table that lists the aperture, shutter speed, and ISO to use, for the different phases of the moon..Kinda cool. Excellent work on this shot, Christie!!

Wow! Thank you all so very much for your very kind words! I was shocked to log on this afternoon and discover this! I have been searching the BP archives for the link I used - but I think I used several in the forums area using the term "moon shots". I came across a couple of the links - they are: Thanks again to all of you for your very kind comments!
