Shaun_300 Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 (edited) Just wanted to share the pics I just took a few minutes ago of the full moon. It's about -25 right now, the cold air always makes it look a lot clearer! Probably freezes any of the crap that's in the air.

sluggunner Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Very nice. What power lens did you use to get that kind of shot. Whenever I zoom in on the moon like that is just gets blurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted January 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 What power lens did you use to get that kind of shot. Whenever I zoom in on the moon like that is just gets blurry. I have a Sony a200 DSLR camera, these shots were taken with a 75-300mm lens on 300mm, ISO 100, 1/250 shutter speed. Took some tonight as the moon rose and had the same setup except with ISO 3200 because it wasn't bright until it got up farther in the sky. The key when taking these shots is stability. I had my camera on a couple towels on my window sill, and I hit the 10 second timer so I wouldn't move the camera when touching the shoot button. Tonight I was out on the river laying on the ice doing the same sort of thing. These are the ones from tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
