It's blimmin tricky getting pics of the moon !
Discussion
Motoring - O/T
Was trying to get decent pic of the moon tonight with clouds in foreground... more chance of winning the lottery methinks (unless any of you have cunning plan)... I tried most things that my brain allowed, so I guess it's back to Photoshop from now on, right?
Any of you managed to get the moon in detail with clouds in focus? If so, give us a tip.
Anyway... just for the hell of it, here is pic taken 20:01 - having given up on clouds (tut)

Well I'm kinda glad you all didn't shout "It's easy you pillock". Thanks for the replies.
Even with high clouds, I find that for them to be visible the moon turns into a white blob (too blimmin' bright)... so my next cunning plan is to take the pic when the moon is just above the horizon, and therefore at its least bright (if you see what I mean).
I use the Nikon D1x - the moon pics was taken with a 450 mm lens and 'spot' meter mode. Most of the pics on the site were taken digital with the Nikon - there are a few medium format (GS1) on there and I still use a film panoramic (Xpan)... but the Nikon is so good I would only ever use film again if I needed to enlarge over A3 size.
Nice pics Chris!
