Somehow i feel that on the lunar calender 16th the moon is more round than 15th. Long time since i posted anything here.. just some pics to share.

nice one bro. what lens u use? My 18-200 can't get it done. Not sharp and got a lot of noise :isgh:

he is using D200 with 70-200 F2.8 (i assumed)...
and 18-200 should be no problem...

try this setting:
01. Manual Mode
02. Zoom to 200mm
03. ISO 400 (my preference)
04. Aperture F6.3 - F11
05. Shutter 1/200
06. piak piak (shoot)

hehehe...


to Categg:

nice work...
shutter 1/40 also can handheld till so sharp... geng arr...
i am thinking how to get the details of the moon in pic #3 while maintain the cloud...

hmmm....yup, I put like what u just metion. Set focus to manual mode. apeture to f6.3, shutter 1/200, ISO 200. But still I get a noise one. Do you guys shoot RAW?

noise? normal wor...

heard from my senoir ..today is the most most circle bulan

thats one nice moon..
i tried...but not sharp...
btw i m using only a cheapskate lens...55-200VR...
2 nights in a row...no sharp result...
any advice bro?

Set to lowest ISO, try out a few aperture (F8 ~ F11) under aperture priority, set to spot metering, lowest ISO, manual focus to infinity. It's not that hard.

This is mine taken sometime ago, using only S3IS.

I'm using a 80-200 f/2.8. Don't see why it can't be sharp as long as you stop down to f/8-13 and as long as you don't underexpose, noise should be kept to minimum.

Thanks for the comments guys.. but i'm not handholding la.. i use a tripod!

For pic #3 i think if wanna maintain detail of the moon while maintain the cloud you'll have to shoot raw, convert two different jpegs (one for moon and one for cloud) and combine them in photoshop. Or else maybe a fuji S5 pro might do the trick (12 stop DR)

thanks for the tips. i never think of that b4 coz i never shoot raw...
anyway, will try out but today already lunar 18th

try this last month ,
with cheapo 300D + 90-300
