[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 152548, member: 12257"] Messed around with trying to get the moon again tonight. Still limited by my kit lens, so can't really zoom in like I wish I could, and the auto-focus just doesn't work well, so tried the manual approach to focusing to infinity. I still made a couple of mistakes, but this was a better attempt at least. 1) I saw a bright moon when the sky was much lighter, which would have made capturing an image easier, but I dallied... 2) I remembered to set my shutter speed up a bit higher, since it's really a bright object, but forgot I had my ISO to 400 for cloudy day shots the other day. [ATTACH=CONFIG]38053._xfImport[/ATTACH] Ugh, but attempts at moon shots are discouraging. I vow, from now forward, to wait for a little more zoom before trying again. Until then, I'm making a checklist (ISO, aperture, shutter, catch it a bit earlier stupid)... :cool: [/QUOTE]
