Hi folks,
Blood moon tonight, kinda cool. I got a few shots and I'm kinda pleased with the result given the lens I was using, but any advice (for myself or others planning to shoot the moon) on how to improve would be useful.
I was operating on manual, and tried various settings - including up to 10 second exposures on ISO 200, but I realise now that was a waste of time as the subject moves through the sky and the results are fuzzy. There's a lot of noise in the ISO 1600 shots and I'm yet to try Ninja-ing that out.
Unfortunately the night wasn't very still and my tripod is a bit flimsy, so a few gusts of wind upset a number of my attempts.
Should I have twiddled with exposure settings as well? Anything else that might have helped ? . . .probably some expensive glass @ F2.8 but that's out of the question at the moment...
Shooting with a D50 and the 70-300 lens at 300mm & F5.6
