I wasn't too happy with my previous moon photo, so I decided to try it again with some different settings.
I think this is the best that 300mm can produce.  | |

2. Shoot full manual
3. 100 ISO, (The moon is plenty bright)
4. Don't let your camera meter the shot, control the exposure yourself
5. Shoot Raw for maximum detail for editing
6. Don't shoot when the moon is near the horizon because you'll be shooting through a lot of air, which can add distortion, especially wavy air from convection currents, or pollution.
7. If possible go up high on a mountain on a clear night, wait till the moon is high above.
I didn't even use a tripod, the moon is bright enough on a night like tonight for handheld.

But really? If you had a 400mm lens, you don't think you could handhold a shot of the moon?
I used ISO 400 for a shot @ 300mm @ f5.6, and 1/1000 a second and moon was exposed fine, no blur.
But yea, with those crazy epic telephotos, tripods a pretty much a must, because of the size and weight. I'm lazy with carrying around stuff anyway. Not to mention I can't afford those lenses.. | |
