shot with k-5 + DA 55-300 + tripod with remote release
*
Very nice shots from a 55-300!
Yeah, a non full moon will get more details with the 'side lighting'.
Really like #2.
Nice . I think I got the same shots too tonight and last night with the same setup
I notice u use tripod with remote . I believe this can be done with handheld easily .
Turn Yr cam to spot meter , use av mode , point to the mOon and shot . I think the moon is bright enough for handheld
Man, I need to improve my skills, couldn't achieve anywhere near as detailed as rx7ong's with my Kx+DAL 55-300 handheld.
looks alittle "soft" how to improve besides using a tripod as I seem to also suffer from Shaky hand syndrome ;p
my humble contribution to the thread. 19th march 2011, 6.00am. Cloudy morning. As the moon sets, the colour got more orangey.
genecor your shot is good, you just need to increase the "blacks" if you are using lightroom. if you give permission, i can use your photo and show you the result.
