First time shooting Moon :)

fengwei · 23rd July 2005

Never really shot at Moon before, wanted to try it for some days, but it's been cloudy most time at night lately. Luckily tonight the cloud went away for a while. Got chance to take the following shots from the window of our flat:

I used a 200mm/2.8 lens plus a 1.7x converter. Shot it at F5.6, 1/100s. It's almost the original size (crop) of the Moon in the full image. If only I had a longer lens

.

After taking some Moon shots, the Moon went up a little bit. I changed to a zoom lens, and take the following shot:

Shot at 105mm, F11, 4s.

Then I looked down from the window, saw the quiet but well lit street. How come I never took any shot of it while I've been living here for almost 4 years. Just pointed the lens down and snapped the following one too. Luckily the train just passed by and went into the tunnel when I took the shot, the light trace above the rail track is kinda cool, isn't it?

Shot at 50mm, F16, 30s.

But I forgot to enable the noise reduction in the camera setting, the pic had quite a bit small blue dots and some noise too. Couldn't seem to remove them by PSing (did improve a bit though). The resized pic looks okay I guess.

Did all these when I was babysitting at home while baby's mom was out shopping around. My 15 month old daughter was so interested in my tripod and camera, she almost tripped over it a couple of times ...

Well, I guess I wouldn't mind babysitting again if I can always have this kind of fun

Wish you all a wonderful weekend.

Cheers!
