I'd agree with your assessment. With what they state about keeping them in captivity, I'm glad he was returned.

Was out walking with Wifey tonight and the moon was just about bright enough to capture with just a monopod. Still could have used a tripod to get better clarity.

what were your settings? I've shot a lot of mood while hand holding nice and clear, but i bump the ISO up a bit.

Weebl · 05-16-2011, 11:02 PM

"Oh honey, wait a moment while we are on this nice walk while I take some pictures"
"yeah right, see you at home"
F16 was kind of high, you could have gotten away with 4/5.6 and boost the speed.

The1 · 05-16-2011, 11:03 PM

i usually try to shoot about an F9 area, allow for some detail on the moon, but not so much that i need to go super slow on shutter speed.

M_Six · 05-16-2011, 11:09 PM

Iso 400 1/200 F16

M_Six · 05-16-2011, 11:11 PM

My original shots were at f5.6 (wide open on that lens) and all I got was a big white disk. Probably should have tried somewhere in the 9-11 range.

The1 · 05-16-2011, 11:11 PM

let me check some of my settings.... I get pretty high in shutter speed too

You could get a better shot Mark...I shot a similar shot (actually a couple a few days before the supermoon and then a couple on that night)..i used the following:

ISO 100, 300mm, f/5.6, 1/60

I will upload in and post it in a couple min....

Weebl · 05-16-2011, 11:20 PM

;-) beat ya
100 ISO/F11/ 1/60th of a sec on a tripod
420mm= 300 + 1.4x

adrean8j · 05-16-2011, 11:28 PM
