THE MOON

[jg123]

Thanks for the advice, I will try again tonight if it is clear. How do folks get the real close up ones? Are they using those 175x telescopes that a camera can connect to?

Some do. Others have telephoto lenses plus teleconverters. Tripods are a must. I cannot take any really good moon photos with my equipment...

This was the best I could do last week. The first shot is the lovely cloud covered horizon with the moon making an attempt at peaking through .

The only shot I could grab in between the clouds.​

These were taken with an inexpensive (read CHEAP) Kenko/opteka 600-1000 mm zoom lense. I thought they turned out ok

Had to check the exif, these are kinda old. First one was taken with my 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III (taken at 300mm, 1/320 sec, f/6.3), this was kinda a surprise (finding out what lens I used for it) - To me it looks pretty good, I didn't think it could have possibly been taken with that lens, lol.

Second one was taken with a 1200mm f/13.3 telescope. (Looks a little soft to me, it's a pain in the ass to get the focus right with the camera attached to the telescope.)

I don't bring much to the table Thought I'd throw it up there though.

ok, so not the coolest shot of the moon. all i have is a 18-55mm kit lens. but get this: this is taken over the 2008 olympic beach volleyball stadium. good enough?
alright, the shot sucks, but it's the moon *shrug*
