Blue Moon Tonight

...

why so noisy?


how bad are they? lol

I would guess you cropped it too much, especially the first one becasue you shot it at ISO 800. Did you use a tripod? Some of those were at 1/10....way too slow!

Tonight was my first attempt at this stuff. I think I may of over processed it in Lightroom. Im going to try more later. THis is a tough shot!

I agree, over-processed!

!

probably true considering with the 200 the moon still looked pretty small.

i did shoot it at 800, it was the first set i took and decided i should drop it down.

yea, instead of 1/10 what do you think it shouldve been? i was having a hard time with these. i wasnt sure to use a larger aperture and faster shutter or what

learning!

Did you read the first page, last entry? ;)

I'll copy it here:

FWIW, here's a ballpark settings for shooting the moon:

Full Moon - f/11@ 1/ISO So, if you use ISO 100, then f/11, 1/100, ISO 100
Half Moon -f/8 @ 1/ISO
Quarter Moon - f/5.6 @ 1/ISO

And here's one with more exposure (because I light the clouds). I edited it slightly to bring out the clouds too.

Here is my second attempt. Not so much processing this time.

Im still not sure how you all are getting the moon so large in your photos and are able to crop and still get a large photo. If I wanted to blow this up it would look aweful. Is it simply the difference in MP's?
