You have a lot of very cool photos posted. This is not one of them. Sometimes the limiting factors ARE the tools.

Yes, i am limited indeed (just a 200 bucks camera and a few more gadgets)AND THAT is and never will be (in my opinion, of course) an excuse for not taking some cool shots, and in the process taking some not so cool ones.
I agree this is perhaps one of the not so cool ones, but the limitations screem out in this one, (almost) everything is correct. if i only had a 1000mm. tele, this would be a totally diferent shot, perhaps going from not so cool to cool.
What i mean is that limiting factors aren't always the tools.

Thank´s for your comment, by the way great shots in your gallery, great camera too....lol;)

theres really nothing to the shot. i know it was just a test shot but you could at least put some creativity to it. try different exposures to get some stars in there, you need to get another subject in there and follow the rule of thirds with the moon

I did try some other exposures, and i would get some stars (very few ones) but not a so defined dark areas in tha moon, so i chose to keep this one. It´s just the moon.
Other A75 owners can have some interest in seing the diference between 3x optical and 7x optical.
The gallery comments point us the right way to go, so thanks again.

I left my heart ...

I like this photo, devoid of stars. Just the moon makes it very surreal, lonely. Keep posting your photos I like them.

Thanks absolutsf, this one is my most disliked shot as you can see by the critics, but it´s just a simple shot, deep down i like like it, but as i said before i may have some more interesting shots in my gallery it's just a mather of taste and that is something i can't discuss. Thanks again for looking at this one from a diferent perpective.
