Shoot The Moon.......

[Guyzerr]

What can I tell you except that I'm bored so I was going through some of my pictures and cleaning house. Here's a couple moon shots I've taken over the years. If you have some feel free to post 'em.

During the day type moon....



Moonrise over the Pacific Ocean @ Campbell River, B.C.



Same location but a bit later on in the evening...



Night time type moon...



And again....

I'm saving THAT moon shot for a special time if you know what I mean.

Glad you liked 'em. And I resized 'em small enough for you to see 'em this time. :nod:

If memory serves me correct it was either the 70 - 200 IS F2.8 or the 100 - 400mm IS. I'm too lazy to look. Probably the 100 - 400 on them all except the daylight shot.

Gorgeous shots, Guy!

Thanks Goddess

Those are lovely shots. They make me sad because I haven't acheived pics like that yet. The second one is gorgeous. It is my goal in life to get shots like the last two.

[Guyzerr]

Thanks Toe... did I ever tell you I love you in a nettish kinda way?

Thanks Zirc.

You could get achieve your goal real fast. Buy a damn good tripod and a Canon 100 - 400mm lens. Then stack on a multiplier for good measure and you would get even closer.

psstttt... I handheld the camera and lens for the last shot but I was leaning against my deck railing.

Not for at least 24 hours

I have a really good tripod already. :nod: A Canon lens would be useless to me because I have a Nikon camera.

What kind of settings do you use for white balance and ISO? What about aperture and shutter speed?



I got this shot earlier this year. I think it's kinda cool.

I'm going back on nights in January and then I shall start practicing again.

I would say its the 400mm...dont think the 300mm would get u as close as that...

people sometimes dont realise just how hard the moon is to photograph,so these in this thread are a job very well done

 

[skyblue]

one of my attempts

Yours is great. and yes, trying to get a good shot of the moon has always been hard for me, it always comes out too furry. I am not a photographer so I don't know about lenses and stuff, so that may be why lol
