Moon shots

Recommended Posts

Picked up a new telephoto lens earlier this year and really enjoying playing with it for nature and other stuff (see below).

I know the moon shots have been done many times better by many others but there is a great deal of satisfaction in doing it myself and learning from it.

Canon 80D with Sigma 150-600mm lens. Straight from camera. No cropping or editing.

I too am learning Derek.

I have a Canon Power Shot SX70 HS and I got a nice Manfrotto tripod for Christmas. 
I tested it out on the recent blood moon. 

Here is a small selection of the dozens I took.

I use my iPhone for most pics. On our travels I have enjoyed using the Canon for some flora and fauna shots. 
 

Your shots look very clear. I need to learn about the settings.

Hi Donna,

The settings for recent ones were:

F stop f/6.3 (more or less set by the lens at this magnification)

Exposure time 1/800

ISO 200 (more detail but risk getting it darker).

I was also a bit lucky in that it was super clear where I was in Sydney when I took that. Just kicking myself because if I'd gotten down to the water an hour earlier they would have been even better.

Regards,

Derek

PS. I like your collection of supermoon photos.
