Earth's Natural Satellite Known As Moon :: Pixel to Pixel Noise Limited :: Not Too Shabby For A Bridge Camera :)

            The moon revolves around the third nearest planet called Earth, of the star Sol, in an arm of the spiral galaxy called Milky Way. The next nearest galaxy Is Andromeda. We are in a local cluster of galaxies. 

Spiral Galaxy: Milky Way
Star: Sol
Planet: Earth is Sol's third Planet
Earth's Only Satellite: Moon

Camera: Canon Powershot SX 60 HS

I really should use a tripod so I could use a slower shutter speed and a lower ISO. That would reduce the pixel to pixel noise which varies as the the inverse square root of the number of photons captured on a pixel. The more photons, the lower the noise.

This pixel-to-pixel noise limited shot was hand held. I was leaning backwards against a low fence for support since my balance is poor. I tried to hold my breath. I supported the far end of the lens  barrel with my left hand. I held the camera body and pressed the shutter button with my right hand,

All things considered, it's not too shabby for a bridge camera...:)

As I recall, my old Panasonic Lumix FZ70 had better IS (image stabilization.) I'm sorry I had to replace it when it malfunctioned.
