<p>Thanks for all the GREAT tips! I may go out again tonight. <br>
The camera does have a lens protector on it...............that is probably what is causing the light flares?<br>
I'll post more pictures if I go out again tonight!<br>
Thanks Again!</p>

<p>I have a Canon Rebel XSi with a 18-55 lens. I just got this camera a week ago and am loving it!<br>
I decided the last couple of nights to try and take pictures of the moon (its been full and beautiful).<br>
I want a shot with the moon just coming up showing silhouettes of the trees and mountain top.<br>
I read up a little before setting out last night. Tri-pod, Shutter speed, ISO, Fstop etc. I just couldnt' get it right:</p>

<p>Moon to blurry and there are these strange lights in the photo. (see attached). Are those a reflection of something. Possible condensation in the lens? All the pictures have these lights some bigger some smaller, the bright spot moved around...the little orange one <em>(flower shaped in the sky. The bright ones below are street lights)</em> This orange flower shaped light in the sky got bigger and smaller. <br>
Is my lens way to small. <br>
Where I was standing was very dark it was at a little observatory at our local Junior College.<br>
Any tips or ideas would be GREATLY appreciated. Next full moon is June 21st.............</p>
<p>Thank You!</p>
Problems Shooting the moon day 2
in Beginner Questions
Posted
<p>I posted a question a couple of days ago about having problems shooting the moon: I want to shoot the moon with silhouette of trees and mountains.<br>
These were day 1 pictures: http://dlmsjdavidson.zenfolio.com/p757345327<br>
I received a lot of great advice, but still having problems. I did take the protective lens cover off and I locked the mirror up.<br>
The best pictures are in night mode and I can't tweak the settings. So when I tried to go to Manuel mode and adjust the setting its just a tiny dot of the moon in black (see the link:Moon Problems day 2). <br>
In Manuel mode I had my shutter at 1/100 and went up, my F5.6 and I went up to F22, ISO 100, I had the mirror locked up.....................<br>
Here are the pictures from day 2: http://dlmsjdavidson.zenfolio.com/p589285934<br>
I have a Canon Rebel XSi, with an 18-55 lens. I am using a tripod and a remote. Could my lens be to small?</p>
<p>Thanks Again!<br>
