hey Moon, how do you like this one?:

;)

F/2.8

1/200 sec

150mm

[Aperture]

Good shot, a little overexposed though.

[giga Veteran]

Were you shooting tripod? Not gonna get the sharpest shots at 2.8.

To be honest you'll never got an amazingly sharp shot unless you shoot on a tripod that accounts for the moon-shift. An astrology tripod usually does the job.

But yeah, f/2.8 made it a little over-exposed too.

You're absolutely right on the astrology tripod thing, I've never been satisfied about any of my moon shots no matter what settings I use, it may be also because I don't' have a longer telephoto lens than 300mm (eq).

Yeap, I was using tripod...and remote switch. Although the tripod was on soft surface (carpet), I guess I'll have to be extra careful next time :)

I was shooting in Aperture priority mode and have a whole range of f stops. I have overexposure bias set to +0.2, do you think it could matter this much? It was left there from the previous shoot...

Anyway, here's

F/5.0

1/50 sec

P.S. Please always critique my shots whenever possible guys ;) I appreciate it.

White balance is a little off? Nice shot but I think I like the first one more :) the 0.2+ made a difference yeah, the older is better exposed IMHO.

I have a problem with shooting the moon. On my 200mm lens, when I focus to infinity, it focuses PAST the moon. Since I add a 2x TC to it, I lose autofocus, so I have to use MF, and I can never seem to focus properly.

Any tips?

Get a custom MF screen? http://www.katzeyeoptics.com/

[crazzy88ss]

any free tips? :p

Moon pictures aren't really high on my list of priorities.

I was playing around with super macro.

These 2 are from the trip I just got back from with my good friend. Yes, we actually climbed a small mountain on these bikes and these pics are from the top. This was a VERY dreary, cold day, so ya, I like to keep the sky gray ;) This was a 2.5 day long trip where we did over 1300kms. Yes, we were very sore after, and still are a bit. My bike is in pic 1. It's a 2006 Suzuki Boulevard M50. My friend's is in pic 2, it's the same bike but 2007.

Camera: Nikon F80 (film, these pics are scanned from my prints)

Lens: 50mm f1.8 Nikkor

Sorry, can't remember other settings, I always just kind of do them without thinking.

Yep, we definitely were very sore. I'm feeling ok today though. Thankfully we don't have crotch rockets or we'd be REALLY sore. I wouldn't mind a zx-14 though :p

Since i haven't actually done much i will post... monkeys... and baby cousin :p

All taken with my 70 - 300mm with no flash (Against monkey parks rules for some reason :cry: ) at ~1/50 shutter

Coz the flash can scare the crap out of the animals! :D

[Nicholas-c Veteran]

Cheers :)

however... flashing monkeys and making them go wild could make any afternoon interesting :p

Edit: Not meant in that way :p

When taking a pic of the moon you have to remember that you need to do a fast exposure not a slow one. With stars you can do a slow exposure.

Try settings like

1/160s

F12

ISO 800

If you have a 200 or a 300 zoom put a 1.4 on it and that is close to get a decent moon shot. Of course a used telescope with motor and a 20$ camera adapter would be much much better.

Looking on craigslist a decent used telescope can be had for about 200$ plus a 20$ adapter and you are good to go to astrophotography.
