Great pic! How do you get a decent shot of the moon? I have a Canon S2IS and I cannot seem to get a good shot of the moon. It seems I lose light when I zoom in. Do you use an external flash? If you have an idea for me to get a good shot, please let me know, as I'd much appreciate it. Thanks!

wendy: You got the right tool. Zoom zoom zoom and use a tripod and f8 at 1/1600. Although it's set in darkness the moon is amazingly bright. Moon filters cut out 85% of visible light. Your on camera meter will be fooled by the darkness isn't thinking it's dark out. (Stupid camera) External flash? I think there are top secret US Govt Regulation concerning flashes able to light the moon. I got into enough trouble using my laser pointer to illuminate airplane cockpits. (Dear Feds, I'm joking. I don't have one of those kick ass Laser pointers)
rw: I would have used it for Six but I ran out of room.
jmd: You have 2 options. Either get a BIG zoom or get very close to the moon.
By people who like to say Shitpoke. It's a whole other bird, Shitpoke.
Take five... Very cleaver idea...

ReplyDeleteGreat "five" idea. Very creative.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. How do you get such good moon pics? Mine always turn out as little far-away dots of lite.
ReplyDeleteToo late, I already saw it. By the way, how did you take this, once again?
ReplyDeleteowen: I am! Thanks!
