Hi! Thanks so much for the tips. Using my Canon EOS 400D with the sigma 7-300mm 1:4-5.6, I followed your suggestion 1/125 at F11 and ISO 100 and got the lunar details at F11. But a softer more natural look at F10. You’re very helpful and thank you so much for sharing. It was really frustrating to get only the bright circle when I want to capture the moon as I see it by my eyes. Found this link.

Just tried your tips and got the best photos ever. I used a Canon Rebel XT with a Sigma 170-500mm zoom, ISO 100, f/11, 1/125 to 1/250. Tonight 1/125 seems to work best here in S.E. Michigan. It is clear and cold. Thanks for the tips.

I always forget that the moon is light! And was very frustrated this evening when I couldn’t get a good shot of the largest full moon of the year. How happy i was to find this article. Here is the result http://gallerly.me.com/karenod1/100296

I wanted to take photos of the New Year’s Eve Blue Moon. I’m a novice D-SLR photographer with a new Canon Rebel XS. The settings worked great. Thx

This is a really good article on moon photography as I always tended to overexpose. If you would like to find out when the moon will appear in a certain location, check out http://www.findthemoon.com.

I echo the comments of the others. Once I read your post and took a few shots, I realized I had been seriously over exposing the shot – it is a FULL moon, it is bright no need for long exposures – duh! Why didn’t I think of that!? Thanks again, very helpful.

i’ve found that you don’t really need a shutter release cable as long as you have a timer set for like 10 seconds. The other important thing is to have a heavy tripod, I’ve found that for these really long exposures a wimpy little tripod won’t really keep everything as still as it should for really crisp shots.
