My Moon Collections

[cheguthamrin]

Okay here's the "red" cresent moon I shot yesterday... no PP done, just crop.


Tonight, I think I've nailed it. In its original colour here
Using Nikon 55-200mm, I thought I can do much better with my Sigma 70-300mm lens.

Thank you, all these while I thought my shots were average; cos I've seen lotsa better ones.

Anyway here's the EXIF for the 3rd one if you're interested; it may NOT be the perfect setting, but thats how I got it done.

Tripod mount; the #1 and #2 were hand held.

Camera: Nikon D40
Exposure: 0.002 sec (1/500)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 300 mm
ISO Speed: 200
Software: Picasa 3.0
YCbCr Positioning: Co-Sited
Exposure Program: Manual
Metering Mode: Pattern >> Someone suggested to use spot metering

The only difference is my focal length is 200mm instead of 300mm.

Aiihhss

Hi ,bros this for education purposes only not to compare .

We think you needs to double your focal lenght with convertor to look big .

Here a shot taken with Sony H9 .

Thank you for sharing
At the moment, 300mm is good enough for me

using 200mm; you should be getting the moon at approx this size. Did you use tripod?
Just put up for sharing la... at least let see the difference.

No at all!

The size i got was not even close to that.. funny eh? And i'm on 23rd floor. But i noticed that through the viewfinder, it looked like the one u posted, but once taken, it somehow appeared smaller?

The look of my moon that i captured is similar to your 'From my kitchen window' photo

The first night, i didn't use a tripod but just now, yeah.. 10 mins ago.. i did and guess wat? It looked the same as the hand held pics
