Shooting moon with your kit lens...

To shoot a great moon photo you need at-least 300 mm lens... 300 mm lens means spending 400 to 500 U$D or 20 to 30K INR. hmm a big hole in our pocket. Even i wanted to buy a very good telephoto zoom lens, due to the budget constraint i dropped this plan.

I started exploring how to shoot moon with my Nikon nikkor 18-55 mm kit lens. i clicked many photos, finally i got this picture. I used Nikon D3100,  D3100 offers very basic editing features, like crop, fish eye etc.., i crop the picture, here is the result.
