Nah, like I said in the other thread, we had high, thin clouds last night, so the moon was washed out and surrounded by a huge glow. With my lack of a long lens and the sky conditions, I wouldn't have had much luck.

Besides, it was Cinco de Mayo and the Pina Coladas were flowing.

nice remmib... I love how soft the bokeh is from that lens.

E90Mario · 05-06-2012, 02:49 PM

Last nights super moon.. the moon was taken at 1/100, F11, ISO 100.. not to happy with this picture in general because it looks too artificial/fake.. any suggestions?

The moon looks a tad over-processed. Maybe too much sharpening or contrast? You're right, it does look like a composite image.

I don't think so. Looks fine to me.

Agreed. Nice shot.

The light looks like it's reflected from something.

Jeff, honestly if online shopping wasn't as easy as clicking a few buttons, and instead we all had to go the retail store, place an order, wait for it to arrive, pick it up, etc... I'd have less equipment.

I bought an Angle Finder C for the T1i tonight because I thought the magnification factor might make manual focusing easier. Wouldn't have thought about it if it hadn't popped up on the POTN sellers' forum.

I owned an Angle Finder C for a while and found it useful on my 20D. Once Live View with 10x magnification came out, however, I found it provided easier and more precise focusing than I could manage with the Angle Finder. Fortunately there's still a good used market for them and if you get tired of yours you can sell it for around $140-150.
