Attempted Moon Picture
« on: July 24, 2013, 12:08:52 PM »
I didn't realize how hard it actually was to take a quality photo of the moon. I pulled off a side road driving home last night to try to get it as it was rising and super orange. It was really beautiful, the pictures - not so much  :chuckle:

Those look better than the ones I've tried to take.

The moon is tricky. It's so bright, you have to think in terms of daylight shooting. Your first shot is a great effort for standing on the side of the road without a tripod! I shot this picture a couple of months ago. Tripod and a remote or timer are a must. ISO 100 f/11 1/250 seconds. 300mm L with 1.4 extender.

 :tup: that's awesome! What camera do you use? I still have yet to get myself a DSLR/SLR camera, my partial manual high zoom digie camera doesn't always cut it ;)

I'm using the Canon T2i. It does a pretty decent job and is fairly inexpensive . I'm saving up for a Canon 7D.

 Glad it wasn't Smossy's moon. I didn't know what to expect when I checked the subject!

If you can zoom in close enough I've always liked the not "full" moon, it easier to get the craters, at least for me.  :tup:
this was taken with a kodak point and shoot. Nice pictures everyone, I love taking moon pics
