Thanks Laurie, I think what saved me is that it was still pretty light out when I shot it, and I used the flash. I usually get a big white blob when I try to shoot it when its really dark!
My problem is always that it looks too tiny. I think that I don’t have a strong enough zoom.
I actually got this shot using my zoom plus the macro setting, and the flash – my Nikon Coolpix has a 21x zoom, still not far enough, so I have to go into the digital zoom, and then I have to hold my breath to get the shot, because there is no image stabilization when I’m zoomed that far.
Interesting … thanks for the info!
This one is great!!! It is not easy to shoot moon!
That’s the point of everything, don’t you think … always trying and aiming to be better in everything we do… Thank you LyndaMichele
The best time for moon shots is when there is still a little sun light, either just before sun rise or after sunset — at least that’s when I’ve had better luck. As always in phootography, it’s all about time and patience.
Yes, there actually was a little light in the sky when I took this, but I was amazed at how quickly the position of the moon and the light was changing, it was a race!
lovely photo thank for sharing this with us!
Thank you Stefan!
Several nights this week I have tried to get pictures of the moon and they did not turn out as well as yours. Good job!

Thank you Paula, I have never been able to get a decent shot, I’m still working on it!

I just posted some photos of the moon. Thanks for the inspiration.
Can’t wait to see them!
This is so beautiful! I too have bad luck with photographing the moon. I’m anxiously awaiting the next full mooon and hope for some better photos 🙂
Thank you! I am going to have to really start using my tripod, which I haven’t done yet! Good luck with yours, can’t wait to see how it turns out!
This is a beautiful photo. Thanks for liking my post “Weekly Photo Challenge: Purple”
Kind greetings,
