moon shot opportunity i'd think

AnCatDubh

just out and about at the moment.

if you have a clear sky like where I am at the moment you'll have a most wonderful full moon really down low in the sky - very bright and coffee cream in colour. very big too.

might make for a nice scene even just with rooftops or if you've water near by then could be some wonderful reflections.

as for me? no camera with me. bummer.

post if you do get out.

AnimalRights

Hah! Been saying that to all my customers!!
Out with my cam but biggest one is 24-105L, when I finish work I'll take out my new 100-400L;)
Moon is exactly as op stated, driving towards it it actually seemed to get lower fairly quickly.

I'm gonna head out in ten minutes and try to get some shots of the moon over Croke Park, the lights are on in the stadium and driving by there 20 minutes ago it looked amazing with the low moon.

I work around corner and yeah they always warm up the lights for a few hours the night before a match!

Its not the lights that are being warmed up its the opposition, its in the UEFA rules that you can use the pitch 24 hours before the game under the same lighting condition, totally OT I know, and yes the moon is great tonight!

AnimalRights

Jeez that's bleeding obvious
As for the moon at the moment it's gone much higher and it's not cream anymore,fs was really looking forward to photographing it, not bothering for the way it is now, u needed to see how good it was earlier.

Well,

here's an image I've taken tonight. Not as clear and sharp as I'd like.

Here's my hand-held attempts from a few minutes ago.Need to get me a tripod.

If you wait until the moon is higher in the sky you will more than likely get a better and sharper photo.
The moon only looks bigger when it is close to the horizon. Its actually an optical illusion, the moon is exactly the same size on the horizon as it is when it is high in the sky. You will get a clearer photo when the moon is higher as it is passing through less atmosphere and therefore less dust particles can blur the photo, there will also be less light pollution.

Moons been good recently for photos the sky has been clear , got some good ones that are very similar on Sat evening

Borderfox

needs more sharpening Janer

AnimalRights

Yeah on my previous moon shots I over sharpened and I'm trying to cut it down a wee bit.

I'm too lazy to set up the tripod again to head down to the carpark, more space down there, my neighbours think I'm cuckoo.

Took this one (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3457/3265071762_47b87e031f_b.jpg) on Sunday evening in Connemara, coming home from a hill walk - moon was rising behind Lackavrea hill near Maam Cross. (Canon 5D , Canon 100-400mm, ISO400, handheld)

I like the second one Janer

AnimalRights

So do I, you can feel the black space around it more than the 1st...I'm scared to click on your cute Dragons.

AnimalRights

Not quite a full moon tonight and when I seen it from my balcony it had a few of those nice small misty clouds, by the time I'd set up tripod they were gone....

Mt attempt for Tuesday night - but i think its cropped too tight from original and has the lost the sharpness / resolution

AnimalRights

Yep, the crop is too tight and as you pointed out you've lost your sharpness/resolution from it.
