Photography: Tonight's Moon

I tried getting a photograph of the moon tonight but this was the best my 55mm (max focal length) lens can do (it's an 18-55mm lens). I guess if I had a longer focal length lens and a teleconverter, I'd be able to get a bigger photograph of the moon. Moon photography is an awesome thing you can do if you have the proper gear for it.

I bet you'd photograph the moon every night as you as you get the chance. It's a wonderful specimen.

I used Photoshop to make a 'tile' of the moon in the image above. (Added my watermark's logo to the last moon at the bottom-right corner)

How to Improve?

For me to get closer photos of the moon, I will need to get a lens that has a longer focal length. For the basics, I have 3 options from Fujifilm's Fujinon that I can buy (up to 200mm). I can also opt to buy another brand but a use of an adaptor may be needed. There's also an option for a teleconverter that can multiply a lens' focal length by up to x3. However, if I will be considering Auto-Focus(AF) I'll have to stick with Fujinon.

There are 2 kinds of lenses from Fujinon: Regular Telephotos and Red Badge Telephotos.

Those lenses are listed here: https://fujifilm-x.com/gbl/lenses/. I will need something that can reach 200mm to photograph the moon effectively. Here's a list:

• XC50-230mmF4.5-6.7 OIS
• XF55-200mmF3.5-4.8 R LM OIS
• XF100-400mmF4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR

The XF lenses are the more expensive ones while the XC one is very affordable.
