I was trying so hard to get this shot...but the fence I was attempting to rest my camera on was a little rocky, low and unstable. This is as good as it got. I do like the reflection of the moon on the water but I didn't get the city very clear. Maybe someone can give me a hint...how do you get more detail in the moon?

i have the same issue. probably a combination of a telephoto lens, tripod, long exposure. patience isn't my strong suit. i love the lights and reflection here. nice!
ReplyDeleteThe only things I can think of are:
ReplyDelete1. Making sure you have the manual focus on and focused on the city and moon so they come out clear.
2. You might need a longer shutter speed. That would allow more light to hit the sensor and the city and moon would appear brighter.
It's a great pic though! I like the moon's reflection on the water as well.
I haven't had a lot of success with a full moon either, although my last time was getting better (but not postable yet, in my opinion).
ReplyDelete- a tripod will definitely help, or solid surface where you don't have to hold the camera
- set the timer for 2 seconds, then press the shutter - avoids camera shake (assuming you use the tripod)
- a slower shutter speed will make the moon even brighter and remove any detail; try a faster shutter speed
Good luck.
