I've already photographed the moon with various lenses - 300 f4 IS, 400 5.6L, 100-400 IS, Bigma, 500 f4, and Sigmonster. It's about time to give the short glasses some lunar duty. ;D Sigma 18-200 OS + 2.8x TC:  |

Very creative use of a "short" lens. Never thought you can use that for a Moon shot like this.  |

Sigma 18-200 OS + 28x TC: When I read this, i immediately imagined a long bunch of piggybacked TCs. I think you missed a decimal point.  |

Yup, I missed a decimal point.... now corrected! ;D

Hehehe, leave it up to the Mastah to come up with a moonshot of that quality using a 200 mm and a teleconverter. Tough act to follow :-)

While driving to work one morning. I noticed it's a full moon. At a risk of being late for work. I decided to find a nice dark clearing. I found a parking lot but the bad part was that it was under the high voltage powerlines. I had to shoot between the wires. I was trying to remember Romy's settings but I couldn't so I just winged it ;D Anyways since I don't have much time. I just took a dozen shots and told myself to shoot some more that evening. Well it didn't go my way. It started raining that afternoon and it hasn't stopped yet. 70-200mm + 1.4x TC cropped.  |

Hmmmmm, lemme join. This is from last night sortie from the backyard. Oct. 15, 2008, 10:51:19pm PDT Sacramento, CA Nikon D300, AFS 300/4 + 1.7x TC (500mm), 1/320s, F/14, -1EV under ISO 200, Manfrotto tripod with 393 gimbal, mirror up. Not sure how to process this properly. Cropped, and resized to about 75% of the original image.  The same moon, looks the same. ;D |

Hmmmmmmm...... can't figure out why canajun's lunar shot is different from the rest Romy and I took the shot after "moonrise", either early or late in the evening. While Jun took his in the morning when it's about to "set". That's what "I" think. |

But could it be due to the shooter's position in relation to the lunar orbit? or Earth's for that matter. |

Hmmmmmmm...... can't figure out why canajun's lunar shot is different from the rest Maybe camera orientation? If you turn Canajun's photo 90 degrees CCW, it will be the same as Romy's and Ted's. |

If you turn Canajun's photo 90 degrees CCW, it will be the same as Romy's and Ted's. no such thing William. That's the way as I shot it. On my pic you can hardly see the craters well. whereas Romy and Ted are quite distinct. As Ted mentioned. Since His and Romy are quite identical even tho one was shot in Pinas and the other in CA, therefore I guess it has nothing to do with the orbit. Now we're back to Ted's analysis. Something to do with the TOD. don't we have a pinoy rocket scientist in the haus? ;D ;D ;D |

I tend to agree with Ted's analysis.... both nice shots BTW!

Jun, relax. Hehehe. It just so happen we shot the moon at the same phase, though one month apart. Of course, the mastah's better, hands down.  Jun, depending on the day, what' used to be up is now what's down, and vice versa. Do you have GPS? Or even a simple map will do. If you're heading on one direction for example east-ward, and orient your map so east is "up". Now, for example you made a U-turn, your heading is now west. East is now at your back, and the map will now show east as "down". That's what's happening with the different view of the moon. If the moon is in the zenith position (directly above the observer), there are different ways to shoot the moon, depending on the observer's azimuth heading (North, East, South, West, and anywhere in between). And the moon will look slightly different as the camera's sensor saw it. So, avoid shooting if you're in the nadir of the camera relative to the horizon (astronomical or celestial). It's nauseous and you'll lose balance and might fall down (hopefully not with the camera). Ok, sorry I got carried away. ;D ;D ;D Sir Romy's Sigmonster captures continues to amaze me. Galing talaga! |
