Jaszek · Feb 4, 2009

the EXIF is there. After I cropped and resized it a lot i noticed I missed the focus just a little bit

BTW the next full moon is on Friday right?

yea, not bad, other than that small bit of focus, its pretty close though

A bit blurry. Did you use a tripod?

Jaszek · Feb 4, 2009

no tripod. hand held. I dont think I need a tripod shooting at 1/4000th and ISO 800 lol. I didn't bother to use Manual Focus b/c its freesing here in Brooklyn.

You'll have much better results by adjusting your ISO to its lowest setting, turn AF off, mount the gear on a tripod and use a remote shutter release. The blur in your shot is quite noticable.

you should ;D. It makes people that see you wonder lol. Today while taking this shot I heard someone say "WTF is he doing?" since there were no stars in the sky so what would I be shooting? Well obviously the moon. stupid yuppies are so stupid.
