How To Capture Moon Shoot

To answer Davelynne question on how to capture moon. Over here I will explain a little bit about it. To capture moon, it is always very tricky because of the bright moon surrounded by darkness. So this will end up a shot where the moon is over expose and you loose the detail of the moon or too bright.Now in order for you to get the detail on the moon is 1st you need to use a zoom lens, ranging between 300mm to 600mm or more. For this shot that I have post in here I use 600mm to capture it. For me to get the detail of the moon I took roughly 6 shots using different exposure setting. In you camera, you have the EV +/- setting where you can adjust the exposure compensation either you want it under or over expose.Down here I put the example of the shot and setting I used to get the moon shots. Usually it is very difficult to get the right exposure but
it a matter of keep trying and trying to get the right exposure using different setting. If you are using a digital SLR then it won't cost you anything to keep shooting. I hope this post helps.
You can post any questions in here about photography and I will try my best to get you an answer.

Ada susah sikit ambil gambar kalau ada awan tapi ko boleh cuba kasi gelap sikit lagi kalau ko mo dapat tu segala jerawat2 tu muka bulan. tapi bila gelap memang under expose tu keliling dia cuma tu bulan saja ngam exposure.

Ada lagi soalan... Macam mana mo ambil gambar budak yang suka butul bergerak? I mean yang jajal butul... susah butul ni... usually dapat yang blur gambar dia...

Yang macam mana tu maksud ko? kalau di dlm rumah kalau teda flash memang kabur sebab low light kan itu shutter pun jadi slow. tapi with flash itu gambar tidak nampak natural.

Apa macam mau guna itu flash? I mean bounce itu flash light supaya inda direct pigi muka? Mesti use white saja kah? I mean untuk eliminate shadow?
