I'm trying to figure out how to take moon pics. Pretty crazy.
I'm sure it will get better after I do some reading. My goal is to be able to take some star pics too.

Wow.. that's an amazing camera... nice shots.
Amazing image! What kind of set-up did you use? Special lens or tripod?

I was pretty blown away last night when my family presented me with my Father's day gift.
Well, it's actually on it's way. :)
As many of you know I love to take pictures, and up till now I have had to borrow the cool camera that I take them with. I don't really take it out of town or anything, cause it belongs to work. Well.... with the little bonus I got for ten years on staff and my kids and wife chipping in... I ordered this kit last night.
This is a really big deal for me, and I am just about as blown away with this as I was when I got an ipod a couple of years ago! SWEET! Now, watch out, I may be a postaholic pretty soon.

I am so excited! I am already planning some photo trips and researching how to take pictures of the night sky!
It should be here by Wednesday next week.
Do I sound excited? :) :taz
That is indeed a sweet kit you have there!!! :) :thumbsup

On this particular shoot I used a tripod and had the auto timer count down so I didn't shake the camera at all. I set it on 100 iso and let it saturate for about 30 seconds. I tried a million different ways, but finally it worked. Most of the time I got a glowing white ball. :)
Very nice Rick. :)
A cable release is a good way to take pictures without shaking the camera. I used to use one when I was in film school, and doing stop motion animation. It is also great when taking pictures of items you wish to put into photoshop or painting programs. ;)
Very pretty!

Yeah, on this one I think there is a wireless remote I can get. I'll check it out on ebay.
Had another chance to take some moon pics... here you go...

Rick your pictures are amazing...
Thanks Kenny. You guys and gals are the only folks I really share them with, other than myspace pics. I do use a lot of them on backgrounds at the church projector. People don't realize they are mine, but that is ok. I'm glad some people like them.
I played with the settings on got these tonight...
Here is one from last night...
ah, the nightly offering of moon pics... here is one more from tonight.
Wow, these keep getting better and better! I like how you're getting the craters to come out.
Thanks, I am having a total blast figuring this out. We should be in Yakima by tonight and I am going to try some star shots as well. If I have fast internet I'll post.
