Love it, Eddie! And as the old saying goes, "there's more than one way to skin a cat!"

Im amazed at how you were able to keep you shutter speed so high Kelley. 1/8000th? is that correct or did you have a typo?

Not a typo! Did you use your 7D, Eddie? You should be able to do the same by using manual mode.

I did use my 7D although at iso1600 F9 I still had 1/400th of a sec. I was shooting as the moon was rising and I think your zoom was longer I shot at 300mm. Your closer zoom would allow more light hitting the sensor and result in the higher shutter I would think. I wouldn't use the tripod either at that shutter speed.

Ah.....I see what you're saying. But I'm not one to let my camera boss me around. I went with complete manual, which meant I set the ISO, the shutter speed and the f-stop the way I wanted, not the way the camera would have preferred - if that makes sense.....I'll do anything I can, to avoid the dreaded T(ripod) word. (The camera was telling me it was going to be way underexposed.)
What I love is that we all got very similar pictures with very different methods!

Im not an expert but many people taking moon pics think that because its dark that a longer shutter speed in needed when in fact a faster one is needed... I have to agree with Kelly (again not that I'm an expert) I like using the manual features of the the camera and only rarely use the auto settings... along with manual focus but thats just me.
The "Super Moon looked its biggest when it first broke over the horizon unfortunately there were many obstacles in the way for me... but it still looked awesome!
Here are a couple taken last summer while it was still daylight out ... I need to get more involved in setting the white balance
