Full Moon and Roker Pier

JackBell · 27 Feb 2013

Hi everybody,I took this shot a few of years ago when I first got a DSLR.It was only a 6 megapixel camera (though I thought it was great at the time) but since then I've been trying to get the same shot, but with a better camera to reduce the noise a bit.Problem is getting the same conditions is proving far from easy.I suppose that's why we see so many different versions of familiar scenes,some great,others maybe not so,you never get two days the same in Britain!

If that's straight from camera it's gorgeous.

That's a great shot, you will need some luck to get the same shot again as will need the right weather at the right time of year...

Good picture.

IMVHO....crop 1" off the LH side and 1.5" off the RH side would make it a great picture.

Just my 2p's worth.

Thanks everybody I do like it myself apart from the noise.

Hi Phill,yes it was a blend of 2 shots,mainly for the exposure of the moon than the actual size of it.It was taken if I remember correctly with a 300mm lens though I may have expanded The Moon a wee bit in Elements at the time.I didn't use Lightroom or use RAW then,so I just produced a JPEG I was happy with from my originals and then deleted them.Foolish I know.
