  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Nice shot. What type of equipment do you have?
Was it hand held or tripod mounted?
I have a few shots of the moon but whenever its spectacular I never seem to have my tripod handy, so I end uo trying to hand hold using something to brace myself.

I have a Panasonic SLR digital camera. I was at home so I used my mini tripod and set up on my front porch and snapped the shot. The camera has 12x optical zoom which was maxed out so I turned on the digital zoom and it was just under 48x total zoom which filled the viewfinder. I set the timer for 2 seconds to steady the camera. I had to use manual focus and play around with the exposure which was around f4.8 and 1/1300 speed.
