Tried to take pictures of the moon at 55m, with my 18-55m. Just to kill time while I'm waiting for my 55-250mm. :P

Ok :)

You shouldn't have an apostrophe in "moons". The bright shot is quite a bit overexposed there.

I expect a repost once you get some shots at 250mm. Then things will come alive a bit more, as you know.

Considering that's only 55mm I think you did okay...I don't think I've managed a 55mm shot where you can actually *tell* it's the moon! ;)

Oh right.. I'm so used to typing apostrophes, because they're commonly used in our language :P

Yeah, the pictures are way too overexposed, but I was pleased with them because it seemed almost impossible to get a clear shot. Had to put on MF, because AF tripped :P

@Adrena1in Thanks! :)
