Photographing the moon

It was such a clear night tonight I thought I would try and get some nice shots of the moon.

Turned out to be more difficult than I thought. The first lot just came out as bright white circles. After a little reading it seems that bright sunny day settings are best.

So started at ISO 100 F11 1/125, which were okay. But I think the best shot I got was this one at F16 1/80

Note that this was on a fairly cheap Tamron 70-300mm zoom lens. So nothing fancy.

Enjoy ...
