I have tried taking pictures of the moon before but it never worked out, tonight was a very clear night with half moon, I had the idea of opening my window fully and using the top part as a ledge to keep the camera still.

Another picture with a slower shutter speed

Not bad shots, considering - what camera/lens are you using?

If memory serves Isaac had some good shots of the moon about 5 years ago that he posted - doubt I could find them anymore!
 
That is why I am pleased with them as its a fairly cheap camera cost me £230 nearly two years ago. So by modern standards its a cheap camera.

It is a 6 megapixel Panasonic FZ7. Two things helped this shot I think, the 12x zoon lens and the fact it has some mechanical anti shake system which does actually work a little bit.

The lens are just built in Lieca ones.

I have got the bug again now, I did a lot of photgraphy last year but been too busy to bother this year, I will start taking a lot more pictures again now though.

I know the moon pics are not perfect, but considering I didn't even use a tripod and they were taken in the middle of a city they are not bad.
 
I can't remember off the top of my head - but had the metering(?) at it's at -x, x being the lowest value...

I recall seeing a thread on avforums about photographing the moon... the tripod helped too! :)
I stood outside my front door to take it...
 
a crap low res version of one I took a while back.

I'll try and find the proper version later...

changed the link. Do you still need facebook to see it?
 
The original is much sharper, i'll try and dig it out later.
