everyone seems to be taking moon shots, and in London it's overcast.

Please post your moon shots for me to be jealous about :thumbs:
 
Took this last month probably my favourite moon shot I have taken, still not sure I've got the colours right but I still like it.

did u post edit this? as moon is generally monochrome, how come there are a range of colour on it. maybe its haze?

looks good ***!
 
Ran into the garden and took this one for you just now

3260940455_2685a9a523_o.jpg

Hand held 1/250 f/8.0 300mm ISO 200

Had a play with lightroom but still so much to learn
 
I took this from my garden last night. Sigma 120-400mm lens on an EOS 40D

I'd say 400mm at least. Anything less than that and you're going to be cropping too much out of the image. I get okay shots at 400mm, but nothing better. A 600mm or 800mm prime lens would let you take amazing moon shots.
 
i got 100-300 f4, with 1.4TC then thats 140-520 f5.6 should be ok reckon?
 
Bare in mind these are from a super zoom compact. I still think they are decent. When i get a tcon-17 lens i will be up to 800mm. Then i will have some real fun :)

Sorry for stretching the forum skin. It's all i have at the moment.



Hand held while taking pics of the snow. The noise here is scary!

i had another go tonight as the moon was so small i hadnt tried one like that

nice one dave, i was a bit short on the 200mm would have needed a 400mm for tonight's moon :) great to see we are shooting the same moon here.

worried me a bit when rob_w posted a full moon :D
 
Here's mine from last year.

Can you see the sunlit high ground in the centre of the otherwise dark crater (extreme right edge, centre)?
Easier to see here -
