Moon – night shots

How to take a picture of the moon

Canon EOS , 300mm IS

Since the moon is very bright, you must shoot with quick exposure.

it is recommended to use a :

1. Tripod

2. Lens 70-300mm (use the 300mm )

3. Shutter Release Cable (with the Tripod)

I used MS paint to zoom and crop the picture blow. it is amazing how  clear you can see the moon’s craters .
