better than [SIZE=-1]Lewis Hamillton's [/SIZE]

nice exposure, can see some detail at least, blur makes it kinda atmospheric

Paulw

I might go out later and see if I can get some moon picts. I tried so long exposure photos last night and posted two interesting samples to my FlickR.

Shot at 19:26 tonight. Seconds before it clouded over. Canon 20D, Canon 400 f/5.6 L

Took this today after getting home from work. I really needed to stop on the way home as it looked much better but had no tripod with me.

Cabaal

deRanged

I borrowed Carrigman's settings and got a bit of a break in the clouds.


edit: 400D and the 70-300 kit lens.

Borderfox

Heres my shot from last night 40d and a Canon 100-400L @ 400mm and 1/50th and f10

challengemaster

what the.. how's everyone getting such quality :(

mike65

Nice shots.

Mike.

Borderfox

I stuck it on a tripod and left it for a minute or two to settle down and then used the self timer to trigger it off.

mike65

Does anyone else sometimes just stand/sit there with bionoculars or a powerful lense and gaze at the detail and wish you were much closer to it?

Mike.

challengemaster

fk. just realised I still have my p.l & uv filter on

DOH!

Borderfox

Lovely work guys!!! very nice indeed.

dammit stupid tripod, stupid bionic arm!

challengemaster

hmm.. would also help if my goddamn lens had IS

/kicks USM only lens

Borderfox

I didnt use IS on the tripod as it doesnt work so kiss and make up with your USM lens!!

bah, NEVER!! /wanders off with 50mm prime

im so noob

gandalf

Well my first proper effort at a moon shot and reasonably happy with it

Lifey2Alpha

I've been reading this forum for a good while, but have never posted before....
So, saw this moon thread and ... here is my version of tonights moon!
Taken with an E500, and Sigma 135-400 mm lens.
Now, headin back to the test forum to figure out how to get the picture to appear without having to click on the link!

Paulw

Ok, since everyone else is doing it -

Here's mine -



Taken with 40D, 100-400mm with 2x extender. 1/200th, f/11.

gandalf

Dammit I need a bigger piece of glass

Paulw

The hardest part was the manual focus. I think the images could be a bit sharper and clearer.

I guess using the glass at 800mm has an advantage and a disadvantage. My Flickr has larger images.

Gorgeous shot!! and welcome to the forum... if you have the url of the image you can make it "appear" in the thread like the others have...

gandalf

Paulw I can't view your larger versions I'm afraid

kensutz

Sitting in work this evening I was so annoyed at a great sunset shooting opportunity only to be in there until 12. :mad: The temptation to finish early was on my mind but I resisted.

Borderfox

Nice shot Paul

City-Exile

Ah I can't believe I missed this challenge.
I stood there, looking up at the moon, thinking how interesting it was that once side was so sharp, but the other was less so.
If I'd only known I could have woo'd boardsies with it...

Oh! Did I unknowingly start a "challenge" woohooo

City-Exile

Once Darren & Carrigman got involved, it was always going to be a challenge!

challengemaster

eventually got ones which weren't as blurry \o/

PonderStibbons

Here's my effort:



Cropped and sharpened to within an inch of its life...

Paulw

Looks like you got great detail there. Shame there's no larger size on your zoomer.

Yeah, Zooomr's a bit stupid like that. Here's a link to a big version on Flickr:

judomick

oshead

Paulw

Come on now - keep with the thread - details !!! Lens, body, settings.
