Hi there - great sequence ...well done

Hi, i also agree, they are a nice sequence of shots, though i think using night setting may have affected the quality of your image.

You may have intended for this effect, but it would seem your pictures have a lot of noise- i.e. appear grainy. If that's your intended effect, then great, but if not, then you're using the wrong setting on your camera.

I personally would have wanted a smoother image and more detail in the moon itself- lower ISO (especially since you're using a tripod) and underexpose the moon to show the craters etc.

Nice work though and good luck with your future shots.

Thanks. I was actually surprised by how bright everything turned out. This was my first attempt to photograph the full moon and I fully agree with you. They do seem somewhat overexposed. At this time of year the moon is very close to the horizon and appears quite large. I shall try again in 28 days...
