Doing a moonie
Discussion
Yes I know... I need a decent tripod (or at least a geared head)...
These were hand-held resting on the bird table in the garden as the standard (free) head that came with my Redsnapper tripod isn't particularly brilliant
Anyway, the best I could do in the conditions... flame away !
Nikon D90 | 70-300 VRII | hand-held (heavily cropped)
EXIF is intact.


Really tempted with an E.T. silhouette in the second :lol:

Not bad at all.
Any particular reason for shooting at f10 and ISO200 though? I'd would have been within a couple of stops of wide open and at least ISO400 to get the shutter speed as high as possible. Also, in case you didn't, try using mirror lockup if you can.
Key things to remember when shooting the moon are a) it's very bright, think bright sunny day and b) it's a very long way away, meaning that the very smallest vibration when taking the photo will be magnified massively.

Doh... Didn't think of that Any particular reason for shooting at f10 and ISO200 though? I'd would have been within a couple of stops of wide open and at least ISO400 to get the shutter speed as high as possible. Also, in case you didn't, try using mirror lockup if you can.
