well worth the wait!
heres what I took on the same night with my Pentax P&S at 18x zoom. No amount of exposure comp would let me get the moon well exposed. You need it to be lighter in the evening. What settings did you use?

The settings were something like f/10, 1/160sec, ISO640. The difference is that mine was shot at 8:40pm CET, which was actually around 20 minutes before actual sunset. This was also shot from a spot with a clear view of the southeastern horizon so I actually caught the moon just as it was coming up, which dims the light from the moon due to it going through more of the atmosphere.
In your shot it appears you are shooting "up" at the moon, which means that it's definitely far brighter than just after it rises. The only way to get a moon that is higher in the sky to be properly exposed compared to the foreground is for it to be a daytime moon, or if the foreground is lit by extremely bright lights. |
