Unfortunately for me it's supposed to rain starting this morning and all day Saturday. Maybe I'll have a chance on Sunday.

I knew you would like it.. you being the moon lady and all.

I'd really need to invest in a better lens before I can get a decent moon shot


There's got to be a way round that though. I might just paint a white circle on my cleavage.

Yikes... what kind of camera and what kind of lens? Do you have a tripod.


It's cloudy here and on the verge of raining so I doubt I'll be able to shoot it. :mad

It's a Kodak z710 with 10 x optical zoom lens.
It does have a PASM mode to manually set things like f, ISO and I guess apeture or shutter speed it can be set to 1/8 to 1/60 etc.

Yes I will be using a tripod

I'm not familiar with your camera and I hope the lens will do the trick. I would start out at 1/30 second with an Av of f11 @ 100 iso. Whack off a shot and take a look at it. Make adjustments in small increments one function at a time and try to leave the iso alone. You want to leave as much noise out of it as possible. ie: If ng decide if over / under exposed and try a one stop more, if that doesn't work try one less. Then fart around with the shutter speed as necessary. I find it helpful to write stuff down as I go because me brain seems to forget from one shot to the next. Oh... and don 't shake the camera when you fire the button. It doesn't take much. Let me know how you make out. I'm curious.

f only goes to 8, iso is 100, shutter is 1/30.

Will take some and let you know, maybe post one or two.

try using a tripod or something else solid.....put your camera on the 'M' setting,then lower the shutter speed gradually until you get the effect you want
