I took my first photo of the moon tonight, and it is nowhere near the quality of yours but I discovered earthshine, something I did not know about.
May I ask what you used to take this photo, and the settings if you know such as shutter speed? I only have a kit lens so had to crop the RAW file in NX-D as I could not get in far, and I used a bollard as a makeshift tripod.
@Tringa , thank you for the details.
I am amazed you used a makeshift tripod too! I feel I have got to grips with my camera now for everyday images. I do wish to get a zoom lens for my Nikon D3500 as I only have the kit lens at the moment.
I see you mention you had to crop the image, this was to enlarge the moon yes? It still has a lot of detail on my monitor, so if I went for something like a Nikkor 70-300MM lens I could get shots like this in the right conditions?
If so, I would be very happy .
Me too. It's a bright sunlit object. The shutter speed was 1/500th of a second with a 300mm lens. Why do you need a tripod?I am amazed you used a makeshift tripod too!
I was wondering about that myself.Me too. It's a bright sunlit object. The shutter speed was 1/500th of a second with a 300mm lens. Why do you need a tripod?

I know how you feel Dave, I shake worse than a morris minor on a cobbled street.Hands are not as steady as they used to be so I use anything that can help.
