Pentax k-30 pentax ME super

Hi auratodd i was using my 100-300mm lens testing it out on the night sky i went straight to manual with my k30 as its the only way to learn plus if you get used to auto mode it can make you lazy also to get the best results usually that is out of auto mode try going into manual mode work out your F Numbers they are your aperature your aperature is how big the hole in the lens is the higher the number the small the hole the smaller the number the larger the hole this then increases the amount of light the lens will let in then you have shutter speed that is great fun to play with just try not to do what i did and go to far but sometimes its the way to learn i hope this is helpfull also it gives you chance to understand how to set up your iso accordinly.

Hi guys
I am here for some advice about taking photos of the moon on my new k30 I used to do this on my compact camera which worked quite well however i want to be able to take better shots then the ones im getting i no that you have to turn the shutter speed down for longer exposure and the iso needs to be down because of the low light situation and you dont want the moon extremely bright. I also not that the aperature needs to be turned down as well, i dont have a tripod yet i shall be getting one soon but i would just love some helpfull hints to take my pictures of the moon to the next level.
Thanks nick

i will as soon as the delivery company stops taking the mickey lol 2 inches of snow and the hole world stops outrage all them photos i could of been taking. good things are worth wait for a suppose lol.
