Super Moon (largest moon of the year because it is a full or new moon and the moon is the closest it will be to the Earth this year) taken from my backyard on 5-5-12 just before midnight with my Canon EOS Rebel T3. Camera settings were F5.6, ISO 400, 1/4000 sec, taken with a Canon 75-300mm telephoto zoom lens. I love that I can see the craters! I may never fly to the moon, but my new camera took me closer than I have ever been before.
Super Moon taken after the first picture above with different camera settings F7.1, ISO 800, 1/4000 sec.
Another shot taken with different settings F5.6, ISO 800. I think the first picture is the most detailed. They are all just slightly different. I also shot these at 1/4000 sec.
This last picture is the first good shot I got of the moon. I was at my friend Amy's house and we were down by their lake taking pictures of the Super Moon. I was playing around with the camera settings and I did not know how I got it. I had to wait until I came home and then I was able to figure out what settings to use so I could get the first shots in the post which were actually taken a few hours later than this one.
I am truly over the moon for my new camera. I waited years to get a DSLR and I did extra jobs this year to earn the money to buy it. I am really looking forward to using it. Photography is one of my favorite things to do.
