Quick Way to Photograph the Moon

Relates to Photography

When the moon is waxing gibbous the light emitted reaps havoc with the exposure metering such that capturing a quick photo can best be achieved in shutter speed priority mode.

Moon waxing towards Full 200mm f/2.8 @ 1/6400s, ISO 800

This photograph of the moon was captured hand held using the Canon 200mm f/2.8 lens. It doesn't give the detail that might be gained from a longer controlled exposure but there is more than enough detail to discern the lunar seas and the main craters.
