Taking pictures of a full moon is a daunting task at the best of times. Invariably you wind up with a small white pinhole image that is supposed to be the moon. If you are not using a tripod, then you often get an image like the one above, as the shutter stays open longer than you'd think, and the camera moves or trembles.


With the 2 images above, I "wised up" and supported the camera on our deck railing to steady it while the shutter remained open. Next time I s'pose I'll get the tripod and the cable release cord out.

Also use a long telephoto lens.
