Hey guys, well after yesterday I have told myself I am going to shoot something of astrophotography every night. It has become too fun! Well tonight the moon was bright and shining so I ran to grab my camera. I sat on my driveway as it was a pretty cloudy night but the clouds were rolling, I saw a gap in the clouds, pressed the shutter trigger, and hoped it was the one! :)
Here is my result:

Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

Nice shot, but be careful with overexposing and losing detail in the highlights.

Probably a low shutter speed. I only sharpened it a bit in Photoshop.. But thanks!

Looks a bit overexposed to me (I'm at home now on my calibrated monitor). Some loss of details in the highlights. Good effort though.

Yeah I needed to use a bit of a faster shutter speed I guess!

A bright moon looks cool also with some clouds around it, they won't always ruin a moon shot, sometimes they make it...:cool:

That is a cool shot, but I was doing it to get the detail of the moon ;)
