Yes, Samurai....that's the BEST moon shot. I don't even want to think about the one i shot a few weeks back.

That's a nice Thrissur sunrise. In this part of the world, the sun rises earlier than me. Hence no sunrise shots from my side.

The moon caught my attention very much today as I was driving back home from work. The result:

Canon S5 IS

Nice. Change to spot metering. The results will be real good!

Try it at twilight, in manual mode if possible (experiment with exposure times). Some editing should help you get more details than a plain contrast pic that comes through once it gets dark.

Thanks for the tips guys ! I am still learning to experiment with the manual modes. Hope to graduate soon.

Perfect timing, there were atleast two people shooting the moon that day from Bangalore!

I think if you underexpose a bit and you can get more detail.

I tried a moon shot with a 50mm lens

(when I was shooting the second image below) and this is what I ended up with (cropped heavily). The 12x of S5 will really bring the moon much closer !

There was a really nice procession (Banashankari temple Bangalore) going on yesterday. I managed a few shots, but couldnt get the position right though.

Hey CD, thats a wonderful shot. What were the settings for this ? And did you edit the image in any way after it was shot ?

On a lighter side, did you find any signs of life at all ?
