First Moon Photo Attempt

boomer1959 · 26th of December 2004 (Sun)

This is my first try at this. Settings were, Raw, 1/1000 sec.shutter speed, f5.6 aperture, 100 ISO, 400mm focal point. Croped in PSE. What do you think. Please comment.

I think it looks really good. Was tempted to "shoot the moon" last evening, but was too lazy to go out.

Thanks Stan

This shot was harder than I thought it would be. I think it turned out not bad.

You've got a very good picture.
Full moon is not easy to shot.
I think you can get may be some improvement by
sharpening ( USM) a little bit and playing a little bit
with levels or curves.
Regards
Jose

Have lots of moon shots with the 100-400 but non is a quarter as good as this. very nice.

Did you apply USM to it.

Thanks Jose and aam

I used a technique I found on Luminous Landscape called Local Contrast Enhancment, wich utilizes USM. I think it works pretty good.

congratulations on getting such a good shot Dave

the same full moon can cause havoc
it's when it's full that the earth's biggest 'movements'

always seem to happen

great to get such a shot

congratulations again

Niceness, It looks much like my attempt at it also.

It's kinda hard finding the right exposure, but once you do ....

had to check my favorites, but that is the site that I found on this board. I had to search for it, because I couldn't get the right settings.

Yes I've seen this sight. It works very well.

Very nice moon shot. I have a few good ones, but mine have a little more noise in them.
