Kirislin Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Tomorrow night will be a "super moon" so called because it's very close to the Earth. I thought it might be a good opportunity for those who are interested to try taking pics of it. The best pics I managed were with my 400D and the cheapie kit lens the 75-300 non IS. I've tried with my new camera and lens without success but I suspect if I'd applied some mozzie repellant I might have been more patient and had a steadier hand.

lic_82 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) OOhhh thanks for that, I better make sure my camera is charged. I dont have my kids this weekend so I might head out if the cloud breaks up and see what I can come up with! This was my only attempt at shooting the moon taken awhile back If I could get some cloud in on a shot like that Id be a happy camper Edited March 17, 2011 by lic_82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTD Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I was thinking about this last night but totally forgot this morning for the reminder off to google " how to photograph the moon " for some hints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pandii Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I have a pentax 70 and was wondering about the best setting for tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTD Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I did a bit of googling and came up with exposure 1/125 ISO 100 App f11 manual focus and then fiddle around from here to get the best I am very very very new to manually taking photos so was looking forward to playing around with moon photos, but it is very cloudy / raining here so don't think it will be any good tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pandii Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Thanks MTD its very clear here, cant wait to see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogfan Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 DA took an awesome photo in the Jan challenge, so I'm going to try and go by her settings but I don't think it'll work since we have different cameras. I don't have a tripod either. This will be a challenge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lic_82 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 That shot I took was F5.6 1/400 ISO 200 focal length 250mm. On a tripod with a 2 second timer for sharpness. Unfortunately we have thick cloud cover here, so i am going to miss out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Anyone got any shots yet, I had a crack, I am so not good at moon shots. MTD I went with your settings and it seemed to work ok. link to facebook album http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=3384...mp;l=743be03c7d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kja Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I took a couple of pot shots from my backyard: Canon 40D, Canon 100-400L, Kenko 1.4x, ISO800, 1/500, f13 Bloggy with a NASA link. It's a pretty moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTD Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 TLC and Kja I can't even see the glow of the moon here . To much cloud coverage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 how's this for a moon shot, not sure how genuine it is, he says it is real, what ever, it's effective. http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpo...p;postcount=334 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piper Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I went outside and had a quick try. We had clouds last night but they were very light and gave a cool effect but it didn't even show up on the photo. I started with the settings mtd posted but it was so bright that there was no detail on the moon so I upped the shutter speed. These were hand help using my 70-300 at 300.
