went out to the beach last night to try and capture the "supermoon" it was tougher than i thought..it happened so fast and only had a few minutes to shoot before it was up higher in the horizon...when it was first rising it had a reddish/orangy color to it...then when it was up higher..it was just a big bright white ball...
the first 2 was when it first started rising...then the last 2 the moon was already high up so i tried long exposures...most of the light that was lighting up the pier was from the moon...

 

I really enjoy the last two shots.
Amazing.

 

Pretty cool. I like how the water looks like you can walk on it. I just tried shooting it over my house last night. I couldn't get an angle to show the size so it basically looks like the rest of my moon pictures:

 

^^^ nice...what lens did you use?

 

It's a cheapy Tamron 300mm 1:4-5.6. I first got it when I got my D60 a couple years ago.

 

We didnt even get to see it here in LA...too many clouds.

My friend in New York got some amazing shots.

 

Flickr has a group with some other cool pics:

I came across the following moon exposure calculator site on a photography forum earlier this year. Pretty cool...
