After I took my son to the Ferry I decided to try and reach the moon and pull it down in to the new eye.. I think I did a good job but looking to make better on the zooming in with the new camera.

I saw this moon last night driving home, but I don't have a camera with me. This is an unusual crescent moon on a horizontal position. Nice capture!

It was to the West of the house taken off the porch on the side of the house... In Southworth area now of Port Orchard WA.. hoping to get a better zoom later needing to know this new baby got a lot to read up on..

nice waning gibbous moon phase (assuming you hav'nt flipped the image in PS or anything!)

As critique, id say it could be a tad sharper, and its detail is blown in the highlights. Metering off a brighter part of the moon ( or setting shorter shutter speed) will fix that and give a lot more detail. Lovely detail along the terminator regardless.

I did run it through a photo shop but nothing major... new camera so watching what it throws... I am trying to figure out why it will not take a shot when I hit x5 or x10.... the view is great when I focus but it will not take..???

maybe it couldnt get the right exposure or focus, when im shooting the moon i find it best to use manual mode

Thanks Kazuya I will try that the next time.
