My First Moon Shot

Nice shot. It's actually better to photograph the moon at any point other than full since there is no crater detail (shadows) at full. The best shot would be near sliver of a moon where the rest of the moon is lit by earth glow.

Thank you for the tips. That was my first attempt. Much appreciated.

Taken with a Sony RX10 M4. The lenses is a fixed lens; it does not come off the body. The lens is a Zeiss lens which at it's widest (24mm) is f/2.4 and at it's longest zoom (600mm) is f/4.

It's a great camera and an amazing lens. Sony tech is awesome.

I've got to admit when I first saw the title my mind went right to an early Bike week visual.
