Aperture Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Good shot, a little overexposed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giga Veteran Posted May 20, 2008 Veteran Share Posted May 20, 2008 Were you shooting tripod? Not gonna get the sharpest shots at 2.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aperture Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An astrology tripod usually does the job. 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).

+Mirumir Subscriber¹ Posted May 20, 2008 Subscriber¹ Share Posted May 20, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tantawi Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazzy88ss Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR_Candyman Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 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.

moloko Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
