    The Moon

    Well I tried photographing the moon tonight. EOS 350D, Sigma 70-300 (non APO) with Kenko M4 2 x extender. ISO 100, AV f25, TV 1/5. Mirror Lockup, Remote Release. Crop applied and levels in PSE.

    Re: The Moon

    I've never tried this. I'm surprised you can get so close with a 300mm and extender. Good view you got.

      Re: The Moon

      Nice shot. I tried this a few times last year but wasn't happy with the results. I believe you get greater definition on the moon surface, detailing the craters if you try when there is not a full moon.
      Thanks for sharing.

        Re: The Moon

        Yep - nice try... I've also tried this a few times, and agree with Steve (above); you DO get better definition when the moon is slightly off-full.

        You might also want to try stopping down to say f/8 and ramping up the speed. The moon moves surprisingly fast across the sky (I seem to recall it's something like 2500 miles per hour), so a Tv 1/5 is not going to "freeze" the "action". My guess is that is why the image looks a little on the soft side...

        Similar to the "sunny f/16 rule" there is a "moony f/11" rule. A full moon on a clear night has a starting point ISO 100, f/11 and 1/125. Adjust for waxing or waning moon accordingly. FWIW, in my attempts, I have started at f/8 & 1/250.
        I actively encourage constructive comment & critique of any image I post!
        Feel free to edit & re-post as you see fit - but please - tell me what you have done to 'improve' the shot!

          Oh and while i remember, using spot metering greatly improves the quality of the shot.

            Re: The Moon

            Cheers for the comments tips and advice! I saw it and just nipped out and took 5 shots and this was the best! I personally was just amazed what I could see (I know it is a little soft!). I bought the kenko auto 2x converter off ebay for £25 and was a bit unsure whether it would be any good, I havent had the chance to try it in daylight!

              Would like to be able to see the image as I tried and treid 2 years ago and each time was disappointed.

              Reading the comments here I will try again, and not take such a long exposure. Well I was thinking the moon is still in the sky!! Stooopid me!
