Some mooning!

Like #3...I gotta agree with Dawg, out of focus on the others.....Morag, if you're after detail ( as in craters) try a faster shutter. I know it looks stationary when we're shooting it, but remember the moon is moving and sois the earth. Line up the moon in your brackets, walk away for a few minutes, and it won't even be close.

En, I shot them in high quality Jpegs, I only posted them on the internet with low quality.

As for Dawg and Faciabrut, I did in fact have a good focus, but the moon was actually a lot dimmer than my pictures show, so I was using 1/4 to 1/20 shutter speed mostly, the first two got some image blur (not surprising seeing as my focal length with digi-zoom was a 2400mm equivalent!)

#1 and #2 are not so great,. #3 is real good though!

Also, for photography... NEVER, and I mean never, use low quality jpeg's for your shots. It will not do them justice. Save as 100%! there really is no advantage to low quality jpeg's, other than the size. But, still, you can just upload to photobucket! ;D

I understand that. But, why do you need to make them low quality? When you open them and edit them, if you're going to save as a JPEG, always save as a 100% quality JPEG.

It moves so much on me between shots that I'm constantly having to re-align the camera just before shooting. LOL

I lower the quality so that nobody steals them silly! No way I'm posting perfect quality images on the internet. Besides, saving as 100% quality at that size brings it over the 250KB limit on Steves Digicams. These files are like 30KB, perfect for online use.

Morag..I resize mine to 800X600 and try to keep the file size at around 230kb. Gives a good photo and as far as someone stealing mine I'd be flattered if they did....Then my lawyer and I would slap a law suit on them to get the money....Just kidding. LOLOL

[En121]

Hehe, my routine is too resize to 800x600, then save as 100% jpeg, and, put them on photobucket. :3

[bigdawg]

The thing is though that if you don't reduce the KB's a bit then Photobucket will do it for you and they don't use a progressive compression! Or at least that was the way they did it when I first got an account there!

Well, they're usually under 1mb. Because of the pixel size. Its just fine. Justy remember to go into your photobucket settings and change it 1024kb. :3

[Morag2]

Well, thats all irrelevant to me, the point is, I don't want high quality versions of my shots widely available on the internet. I know they arn't great but I want to sell those someday! And I don't want anyone thinking Steves Digicams is a free photo site!:blah:
