Couple of Lunar shots with the Lumix TZ71.

I've been playing around with taking hand held Lunar shots using my new compact camera. All I can say is compact cameras have come a long way since my 2003 Vivitar!

Nice images, especially for hand held. Thanks for posting.

That second one is very nice for a compact.  I think I'm probably still using one from 2003, if not earlier

Nice ones. Next time you could try setting the AV control to -1 or -2, this prevents overexposing bits of the moon, and lowers shutter speed (always good to prevent any shake).

Thanks, I'll give that a go!

That's a good attempt. Most things have come a long way since 2003, except me

Funny you should mention lunar imaging with a compact digital camera. I tried tonight and mine didn't come out anything like this, all deleted.

Hard to believe this is compact camera shot, who needs a scope! Excellent results there Chris.
