Nice. I want to say it's a little out of focus, but I couldn't come up with the level of detail you've achieved so I'll just keep my trap shut. 0 -
I was just glad it wasn't a picture of Wallie in his night-wear [:D] 0 -
Yes it is,but I did it at ful zoom by hand and not on a tripod.Thats hard to do with a digital.It has a 12x optical and 4x digital zoom.I'm looking into getting a tripod soon.quote:Originally posted by spurgemastur

I'm not knocking your work; it's a better shot than I'd even hope for. And if you did it without a tripod, well, props to you!
You didn't ask for any advice, so if you don't want it, stop reading here, because what follows is unwanted advice. At any rate, I liked your photo.
Tripods: A really good tripod will run you well over $100. You can get a decent full-sized tripod for about $20-30 at Wal-Mart. They're aluminum (wouldn't want to use it for a video camera but for stills it works fine). I own one and have used it when I needed a full-sized tripod. For general use I prefer the Ultra-pod brand. These are plastic shorties that are awesome to lug into the field because they weigh next to nothing--not as good as a full-size, but I simply will not lug a full-size into the field. The Ultrapod I (about 6 inches) is too small to support most cameras, but the Ultrapod II (about 10 inches) works nicely for me.
Digital zoom: disable it. It does nothing that you cannot do in any image-processing software on the market. As I thought further about your image, I started to wonder if the 'out of focus' thing I suggested was not simply due to the digital zoom. Digital zoom loses resolution whether you do it through the camera or on the computer. So disable it on the camera and then decide on the computer if enlarging the image is worth losing resolution. Sometimes it is, but sometimes it isn't.0 -
Nice photo. Reminds me of the artist's rendition used at the beginning of The Honeymooners. You could distinguish Jackie Gleason's face in that one as it was deliberate. 0 -
nice picture!
+1 on the digital zoom0 -

Another vote for disableing the digital zoom. That is more than likely the fuzzyness in that picture and not the fact you were holding the camera. When you use digital zoom you lose pixle count and there for lose picture quality.
good computer software can give you some zoom after the fact with less picture degradeing.0 -

Thanks for the advice This is a new hobby for me . Any constructive advice or criticism is appreciated. That is how we learn . The digital zoom as I understand it is for enlarging the photo .I'll disable it as you suggest and play around with it. This was the first time ever I've taken a moon shot and it didn't turn out to be a big white blur. Please feel free to comment any time. Thanks.[:)]0 -
Here's one my buddy did with his $8000 telescope. 0 -
