    Well for those of you who took a look at my other Moon shots (Available here), I took some "super" Moon shots tonight.

    You can only take so many photos of the same Moon in the sky, so here you go!

    Luckily I caught the moutains in one of them!

    I just went out and tried, but with a monopod I dont like the results.

    To do it right I really need to use a tripod (its packed up and Im too lazy to get it out), mirror lockup and remote release.

    not bad shots you have though. I like the first shot with the horizon.

    Thanks! I definitely had to use my big tripod. I experimented with my monopod on previous nights and it's impossible.

    My attempt, just got my first DSLR today, so I've been taking pictures of everything.



    I really need to figure out all the settings, it's a bit overwhelming right now. This is straight off the camera with only a crop.

    I really like the first one since you have some color in the sky and you have the mountain tops at the bottom of the frame.

    Thank you! My favorite as well. I REALLY wanted to catch the Moon behind the mountains, but alas, I was about 5 minutes to late

    Used my wife's D7000 for higher mp count vs my D300.

    Next time I will try a 2x TC.
    I've been here for far too long.

    Any instagram users (oh noes the devil app!) out there should search for username ochinapi. She had some incredible supermoon stuff from Japan, though heavily doctored.
