Unless you're shooting action and need to focus on the shutter speed, you should almost always be in aperture priority mode.

I like...can you link the original or explain how you did it? Not a simple B&W obviously...


Thanks!

I just played with it (lol) until I got the result here. Added a custom B&W layer in Photoshop and tinkered with the sliders. Then did more things in Lightroom...it's really hard to say exactly how it came out this way.

The problem with that is at f/32, you have to do a really long exposure and the moon moves too fast for that. It'll just end up blurry.

Cropped Moon by ewraven, on Flickr

This Moon picture was with the NEX-3 in RAW at 210mm with the 55-210 F4.5-6.3 Lens. I'd love a good 2x Teleconverter but all I can find are the cheapo Chinese screw on the end of the lens type. Not the E-mount ones specifically for my camera. So far anyway.

Believe it or not, this is one of the better Moon photos I have gotten. lol
I never really got any decent Moon Pictures with the K20d, not that it was the fault of the camera just me not knowing what I was doing.

The UPS guy will be delivering Lightroom 3 tomorrow. I'll see what I can do with the above picture when I get it installed within the next couple of days.

Anyway, another moon photo - lol.

Agreed, his and MetalheaD's Moon pictures are awesome!

I wish I had 400mm of reach! Hopefully I will soon enough.

Taking pictures at night of the sky and Moon is a lot of fun. Startrails are fun too. I downloaded this free program here...
http://www.startrails.de/html/software.html

But I actually just remembered I had it, I'd forgotten about it. lol

Thanks guys. I really wish I had a 2x converter for the moon. 800mm FTW!!! I also want to try and use a CP for a moon shot and see if it ups some contrast in areas... But I always forget it - lol.

I guess when I converted it over to jpg the sharpening gave it a weird texture as the raw is a little cleaner then that...

I really like metalheads color on his moon shot - gives it a great feel.

Do it! You just can't take the 7D it's attached to.

Hopefully by then I'll have a 70-200 2.8 IS II...

can't tell if sarcasm haha. but if its a compliment then thanks \:\)

This camera is pretty impressive for what it is. This is actually a HUGE leaf, like, probably 3 square feet so not so much macro. here is the color version...

No sarcasm intended. Those are good pictures, especially coming from a cell phone. The first B&W image of the leaf looks like one of those high resolution images one sees coming out of an electron microscope.

Yeah, I know, that's the hard part. Since I don't have a motorized mount to put the thing on it'll show movement. I did take a few practice shots with it against the neighbors doorstep light, and it showed up, although kinda dim. I'm hoping a brighter moon would show up better. i guess I'll have to wait until next summer to try it.

Oh, and the other thing is that you're going completely blind when you're shooting with the scope because there is no feedback on the built in light meter or anything, so you're manually adjusting the shutter speed and ISO with a fixed appeture.

Lightroom 3 arrived yesterday. I took that Moon picture from above and did what I could to it. I found LR3 to be easier to use than I thought it would be. Having used Paint Shop Pro X2 and X3 in the past, I can see why Adobe owns the market with LR3 and Photoshop.

What do you think?
