Don't know if these really qualify as photography, but figured I would post them to see what people think..

I took these 3 pictures of the moon tonight..After loading them onto my computer they seem to look pretty plain, so I did a little photo editing to add some more effects to them..

Please - Post comments, suggestions, etc..Thank you..

That is an understatement!

Good try keep at it. It is a fine balance to get that moon to smile properly.

In my opinion, your moon shots look plain because the moon is overexposed.
The reason is that the moon is very small in the LCD or viewfinder of the camera and the normal exposure meter measures mainly the dark sky.

I have a Pro1

On Feb 23 I got the moon in clear sky at 19:10 and shot 7 images in manual mode at ISO 50 f8.0 and Shutter speeds of 1/4, 1/8, 1/15, 1/30, 1/60, 1/125 and 1/250 sec.

Below is an animation of the seven pictures actually shot in RAW, cropped and converted to .gif
I achieved the best image at 1/60 sec.

If your camera do not has manual mode I am not of much help, let us know your camera model and somebody will come with settings for a better shot.

Took this the other night with a sigma 150mm. handheld.
I've taken better through my telescope but thought this was pretty decent through just a 150mm lens and no 'scope :cool:
