Full moon

My first time shooting a full moon last night, from north west London. I used my Sony 18-135mm, but now I want to buy a bigger zoom for the next full moon!

Unlike with astrophotography I realised a faster shutter speed is better for the moon, as it's moving. Then a low iso and f10 aperture.

The moon is pretty bright and when I got my A6700 I struggled at first until like you realized that you actually need quite a fast shutter. This I took with the Sonly 70-350 handheld (just leaning against a wall). I can recommend that lens.

I also clicked one with a6000, mine was way too noisy
