My first successful Moon Shot today(C&C Please)

[Avi]

Hi All,

this is my first successful moon shot...and I am very pleased with the output.

This is a handheld shot using Sigma 70-300. F9@ 1/125...EXIF is attached for more information...

PP done is color correction, unsharp mask (let me know if it is overdone) and crop.. :)

Please give me your critics and comments as I want to improve from here..

Not bad. I assume you used a tripod and took precautions against movement. It's been awhile since I took a moon shot and I forget what I did now. :)

[canonnoob]

Yeah...as said..it is handheld...so I guess looks soft...

agree...so I have two options now: 1. get a nice and sturdy tripod.
2. Join a good gym and build hands of superman :)

Thanks for your comments guys....I know it is soft...but this being the first attempt...was very excited to share with you all..

Now I know the settings...so have so many ideas popping up for moon shot...but ofcourse...need a tripod first...

Manfroto 190ProB is a cracking reasonably priced tripod. there's a new version of this (not sure exact no) . get something decent and don't buy the cheapest you can find.

it will improve this 100%

thanks for the suggestion EOS...have got some more suggestions in accessory section of the forum...will consider them before going for a nice one...many are not available in India and shipping to India will be another hole in the pocket.. :)
will wait till my next trip to US...

thanks again
