My first try at a moon shot. I have my hands on a 70-200 2.8L for a little while and decided to put it to some more good use:



Waxing gibbous over Philly. Manual 1/80 s, f13, ISO 100, tripod, autofocus (I think). I applied warming filter 81 at 22%, preserving luminosity, during post processing.

Nice photos in this thread everyone, y'all inspired me to try!

Thanks! Can you rent lenses in your area? If not, I believe there are some online rental houses that can ship to you. That's how I have what I'm using right now.

I am sure I can find somewhere out here that rents lens. Sadly though my CF card keeps giving me the ERR CF every time I turn my camera on . So I will have to go get a new card first...

I like it although it is heavy at 4 lbs! But at 70-500mm it's a good all around for me here in Alaska. It normally runs over a grand...but I picked mine up through Amazon for 950 clams and got free shipping all the way up here!
Seems to work good for shooting the moon!

Sweet, I might have to see if someone has one that I can borrow or rent from. Would definitely take some moon shots with it!!

I posted this in the daily random thread before I saw this one.

Saw it early yesterday evening, said "Ah, why not." and went to get the camera.

Seems all you have a different view of the moon than we do here in Alaska. Tonights moonrise on the northern coast of AK.
