Here's my humble attempt

ISO 100
f/8
1/320
300mm



Borrowed(stole) my father's EF 75-300 lens for the project

tbh I'm not overly impressed with the final result. I used tripod, cable release and mirror lock-up but something is letting me down.
Feel free to point out what it is if you know.

Hello Shooters! a dumb question from a dumb camera user using the image above, can you please tell me, where do i suppose to set my focus area to have a good moon shot? it always ends up having a flare, whenever i'm shooting. i'm using a D40 55-200mm with three focus area "[+] [+] [+]"

TIA
