i apreciate everyone’s comments. I’m a new photographer and have learned a lot from all the comments and I’ve enjoyed the photographs. The reason I’m reading about moon photography is that this month (August) we are supposed to be able to see Mars like never before. We’re at the end of August now, which means it should be getting brighter each day. From what I read it will be close to the moon, so watch for it rising on the East. This is a once-in-a-lifetime event as they say it won’t happen for another 200+ years.

Taken with my older Minolta 100-300mm lense on my new Sony AF100 w/doubler. I happened to walk behind my neighbor’s tree and saw this view.

And this is something I have not tried, I only was able to capture moon photos as close ups and not in the landscape.

I took pictures of the moon every night, for weeks, and combined them in Photoshop to show the phases of the moon.

I have taken hundreds of moon shots with my Canon S2 with good results.

I have taken the normal shots of the moon, eclipses, but my favorite is pictures of the moon taken during the late afternoon around. I was walking facing the East and noticed the moon between the palm trees and was able to get good pictures.

A simple moon photo can make a good desktop pictures because of the colors and its uncluttered.

Thanks for the interesting tips on moon photography.

I realised besides a long lens, a sturdy tripod, mirror lock up, remote switch or self-timer is required to have a decent sharp image of the moon.

A thing to note is that the moon is constantly moving so this will have to be considered for very low ISO and long shutter shots.

I’m more inclined towards getting the details of the moon – the craters and spots – and is thus more towards the astrophotography field.

Here’s my attempt:
