Did yeese see the moon tonight?!
Unfortunately, I didn’t manage a good photo, but this was my best effort.
I can see plenty wrong with this shot, but who can tell me what I should have done to get it right?
Hi, The moon is very bright. To capture the moon and the foreground, would need a couple of exposures blended together.
A full-moon will typically be half the exposure that you’d use for a bright sunny day. “Sunny 16” at shutter = 1/iso ish.
So ISO 100 F11 1/125th

Pete,
Mine were much the same. I think we have overexposed in the red and the green channels. The luminosity histogram looked OK at the time because the blue channel was not overexposed. There is a lot to be said for the old rules. There we are using all the fangled new gear and we would have got a better exposure using the old sunny 16.
