Photographing the moon is a lot harder than it looks if you'd like to do it correctly. You need to underexpose the shot to get detail in the moon, since the camera will automatically over-expose the moon (it is a lot brighter than we think). I like this shot for the detail in it, but I realize that a good photo of the moon would also probably include an interesting foreground to look at. Another issue is the lens. Even at 200mm, my lens is too short to get a good close-up shot. I had to crop this photo significantly to even make it this large in the frame. Either way, I think that it is a nice shot considering my meager efforts.
