I need some advice for taking photos of bright winter moons. Tonight&rsquo;s moon, <a href="http://www.earthsky.org/article/waxing-gibbous">waxing gibbous</a>, presented the usual set of problems of being <strong>far</strong> brighter than the surrounding <em>and</em> we had fast moving clouds added to the mix meaning long exposures blurred any details.</p> <figure> <a data-fancybox="Night, moon, clouds." href="https://photos.smugmug.com/i-QpqVKRJ/0/M/i-QpqVKRJ-M.jpg" data-caption="moon in the trees"> <img src="https://photos.smugmug.com/i-QpqVKRJ/0/M/i-QpqVKRJ-M.jpg" alt="moon in the trees"> </a> <figcaption>moon in the trees</figcaption> </figure> <p>I took maybe 30 shots and only one is even slightly usable and it&rsquo;s not very well composed with the moon being almost dead center. You can make out the moving clouds so that&rsquo;s kinda cool but overall I can&rsquo;t even get close to capturing what I see.</p>
