Not putting this up for critique, but it's the best I've managed so I thought I'd put it up here instead...

A little parky outside when I came home.... got chilled after about 20 mins

Re: Moon

Hi Caz, looking at the exif data, your camera has a max focal length of 210mm (equivalent). With that in mind, the result is pretty good. You can clearly see the crater detail in the lower part of the moon. It would probably benefit from a faster shutter speed to reduce the exposure in order to bring out the highlight detail. I don't mean to 'critique' but as you've produced a promising result, I thought I'd siuggest a way make it even better

No problem Ian, all advice gratefully received!! I tried various combinations of shutter speed/aperture and thank goodness for exif data because I always think I'll remember what I've done.......

As you say, my camera is a compact (I'm not going to say 'only'), so it does have a smaller sensor and a limited optical zoom - although when I bought it last year 6x was considered pretty good!

I'll have another go when I've got over this cold - trying to avoid outside at the moment...
