Thank you Andy. The shot was not planned. It took me by surprise... As I broke a small bone in my foot, I am not very mobile, unfortunately. I saw the moon peeking out and I just had time to deploy my tripod and I took this picture from my balcony (one more!)

A good shot. Congratulation.
I thought to photograph the moon, it needs a speed of 1/250 s or faster. your speed is only 1/5 s !!!

Thank you René.
I suppose it depends on the sensitivity and aperture. But why 1/250 s? The moon doesn't move that fast! I simply set the shutter speed by looking at my monitor so that the moon was well exposed and looked like the real thing.

Yes, I did notice it as I was feverishly preparing my tripod! But I think 1/250 as a speed is a bit exaggerated.

For moon shots I usually use 1/250, f/5.6, ISO 200 which usually works for my set up.
Any slower than 1/250th I seem to get an elongated moon.

Speed 1/125 s will be the limit!

This is interesting. I'll try next time with different shutter speeds.
