Nice shot, and particularly impressive with the 100-400 with a 1.4! To add my two cents worth to the technical discussion, use the sunny-16 rule, and I wouldn't shoot below about 1/125th because of the motion of the moon. I agree with Mary --- if you're going for a shot of the moon like this, then shooting it with some side lighting (ie, not when it's full) will make the features stand out more.

Hello Yamil,
I like your 'almost full'!

This are the technical comments that I got from the previous shot of a over sharpened moon. I hope that will help others the same way is helping me. Thanks to those who responded. Yamil
And here are the comments:
I shot the moon the other night also. I used a much slower shutter speed with a smaller aperature.
We have almost the same equipment. I have a 20D with a 100-400mm L and a EF 2x II extender.
Here is my EXIF info:
Camera Model Canon EOS 20D Shooting Date/Time 7/19/2005 9:04:37 PM Shooting Mode Manual Exposure Tv( Shutter Speed ) 1/25 Av( Aperture Value ) 22.0 Metering Mode Evaluative Metering ISO Speed 100 Lens 200.0 - 800.0 mm Focal Length 800.0 mm
I tried various shutter speeds and apertures, but I got the best results from the setting above. Jin Kang
Your problem is the fast shutter speed and wide open app. you should be on a tripod In manual mode, with a app between F/18 to F/32, Tv from 1/60th down to 1/10th of a second until you get the desired brightness you want, then don?t over sharpen, This really dosent look bad, just a bit too bright, also try to get it when it first rises as there is much more color where we live, once fully risen it loses all color as is always bright white. did you see my eclipse shot? http://www.usefilm.com/image/593036.html

Hi Yamil, Remember the moom is directly lighted by the sun and the surrounding black sky is causing your meter to read the scene incorrectly... Use the old "sunshine rule" Rule that was used before fancy meters, F16 with the shutter speed at the same number as you ISO.( 1/100 at 100-ISO) now your 1.4 converter will mean "open one stop", or reduce your shutter speed to half 1/50 (one dtop)Start here ... I find you will normally have to open one more stop, but start here and see the LCD screen for adjustments (use manual and forget the meter...OK? Tripod is prefered good luck Don

This is what I got the other night. It's a bit on the "flat" side so I'll make ajustments next time out. After a series of bracketing the result I liked best was 160/f8 with 200-ISO. Nikon D2H 300/4 tripod spot metering (but don't trust it) I agree the f/16 rule is best

More people are appreciating how difficult this subject is Yamil. You have a super result here. I especially like the lights spreading away from the larger craters. Well done. I took a similar shot, see http://www.usefilm.com/image/862038.html

I like the detail of the craters. When the Moon is full, the details are not evident. So, don't just wait for a full Moon to get pictures. You'll get some great ones at other times, also. Mary

Technically perfect. You obviously have both the technology and the skill to make something like this. Maks.
