Marc Ex Member Gender:	Difficult Picture Oct 14^th, 2008 at 10:03pm At least for me, it is very difficult to get a decent picture of the moon without a telescope. I'm still working on it! For you photo people, it was shot handheld at 300mm, f7.1, 1/350, ISO 100 Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to or

Thank you all for the many supportive words! I shoot a lot of stuff just for the challenge, that no one else ever sees.

This is one of my better attempts to date, but my goals are far loftier than my current abilities. Eventually I'll get one that I am happy with and I suspect that it will be on film - but digital is cheaper to practice with. Time to break out the tripod...........
