Moon

[Schumi]

Hi, I thought i could post my first moon shot, and get better at it after i hear from you guys/gals :)

Shutter 1/100, F11, ISO 100 and 500mm using the Bigma, and 100% crop.

Tried to do some editing with it, any better?

That's amazing! Don't really see how it could be improved :)

Though I frown on selective desatuation, I would do so in this case. The chroma abberation is killing this shot. Might be hard to get rid of, but you could still make it look less offensive.

Select the very perimiter of the disk of the moon, and desat that. It will still be bright, but at least it wont be turquoise.

Nice moon by the way.

I didnt quite understand what you meant here Radtech, i mean you are using some words that i dont know about. Like "frown, desatuation, chroma abberation, perimiter and turquoise" Sorry about that:/

This is straight out from the cam, do you mean more like this?

Or how about this one? This is also taken straight out off the cam.

#2 seems to have too much contrast added and #1 seems a bit soft. Did you apply any USM after RAW conversion?

[Schumi]

Yes i tried to do some USM if thats the short for unsharp mask? Did i over do it?

Please feel free to edit my picture, and show me how its done?

Cheers
