Waxing Crescent

Waxing or growing crescent on the fifth day of Shawwal 1441, Islamabad, Pakistan at around 8 P.M.

Taking pictures of the moon with a basic bridge camera and without a tripod, are quite tricky. Nonetheless, after dozens of attempts, I was able to capture a clear snap. Settings for this shot were ISO 100, f/5.9, and 1/100th sec. shutter speed.

The picture below is of the same moon phase during day time at around 4:30 pm. The settings for this shot were ISO 80, f/5.9, and 1/160th sec. shutter speed. But this shot is rather grainy by the comparison.
