The Half Moon

[pratikupatel]

Hello Guys !

I have tried to take photo of the half moon. It is original. Although it is shot with a Point-and-Shoot camera I tried my best but I am still satisfied with the result ! So please let me know what settings/trick should I use with my point-and-shoot Canon PowerShot A710 IS !

Camera : Canon PowerShot A710 IS
Shutter Speed/Exposure Time : 1/100 sec
Lens Aperture : F/4.8
Focal Length : 35 mm
Exposure Compensation : 0 step
ISO Speed : 80

Well, part of the reason may be that you're not asking what you want critique on. If you read the rules for the Critique Forum, you'll see that it is suggested that you ask specific questions for critique. Just posting a picture and asking what you can do better isn't going to be beneficial for you. Sorry; I don't mean to sound rude, so if I do, my apologies.

Having said that, I'll give some general comments on the photo.

The exposure looks pretty good. You may be able to make it a touch brighter, but that's just me being picky.

I would suggest using a longer focal length to fill more of the frame with the moon. Or, if you can't use a longer focal length, crop the image. The fact that you placed the moon in the middle of the frame isn't all that interesting either. You may want to consider using the Rule of Thirds in a situation like this.

If you give me your permission, I'll edit your photo and post it here to demonstrate what I mean.

Hi pratikupatel,

I agree with natek313. I don't know what you are unsatisfied with. The image is clear. It has detail. Overall a nice shot of the moon.

Thanks natek313 for your comments !

Sorry for not asking any proper question. So I would like to know how could I make this photo more brighter using the specified camera only ? ( Without Post-Production because I like originals ) ( Using the camera, I have no accessories(lens,etc) so please suggest concerning this... )

And I permit you to edit my photo and demonstrate what you mean but please post it here only ! Thanks again...
