Moonlight in Vermont...

or starve. As the saying goes. Here is a view of the moon about 10 miles from Vermont as the crow flies taken with my cheap point and shoot while hand held.

Wow at the picture quality.

I think its awesome that you can moon the whole planet at once.

Wow! I'm impressed though really... the moon is a mf'er to get a good pic of.

Put the camera on manual and under expose 2 or 3 stops. Also this thing has a 6x optical zoom which is nice. The newer ones have only a 4x.

This is the first good moon picture I've ever gotten. I'm pretty pleased.

Well done, F3.
Selene is hard to image.

That's amazing. All my previous attempts at taking a pix of the moon have failed miserably. Several days ago, I had wanted to take a pix of the moon with the two extremely star-like bright planets next to it. Figured it wouldn't work so I didn't.

Wow, indeed, considering that lately I can't even get a decent picture of my KIDS without it being too blurry.

Very nice.

Very nice shot! Great job. That is frame worthy!

I've gotten some good ones, but not consistently. In addition to under exposing by a couple of stops, I recommend manually focusing on infinity. The auto focus can get confused on the pretty much blank sky and you end up with a fuzzy moon that you don't notice until you see it on the PC monitor.

Beautiful! Do you have a website with other pics, foot?

Again, so many talented people here...

LabRat 12-04-2008 09:16 AM

Most excellent job foot3!!

footfootfoot 12-04-2008 09:35 AM

Thanks everyone. It was luck and, yes, manual focus.
I am working on my website now and will post a link when it is done.

Returned to please my eyes with something beautiful and realize I did not complement your work earlier. So twice the applause, for then and now, and thanks for posting it.

Very nice, jinx.

I'm impressed with foot's image from a point and shoot camera. Cameras keep getting better and better.

My best is here. But it's a little soft around the edges.
