Another Moon thread. How awesome!

How's this?

a)









b)

 

Seems really soft.

 

Is that a 100% crop? Looks better than anything I've taken with my 70-300 (of the moon I mean).

 

Good job

 

Of course it's soft, it's made of cheese.


Rez, yup, 100% crop.

I tried again and added 'b'

 

b = better

Much better. What did you change? What did you shoot this with?

 

A's a bit soft as people have said but B looks fantastic! What lens did you use for it?

 

They look a bit oversharpened to me, but the detail is good.

Was this with 100-400 L?

 

B shows some bad posterization of the highlighted areas and it looks bad.

 

If the purpose was to show only details of the Longomontanus crater I understand the crop (big crater at the bottom).

I don't like a death center crop for the moon. Is to simple and dull. I like better your moon that you showed us the other day.

 

A looks soft to me and B looks oversharpened. Find a middle ground?

Wish I had a lens that would let me get close enough for shots / crops like those!
