My puns are like moon landings, still debated by some if theyโre real. these peeps gotta chill and dont be such lunartic’s.
So onto the technical side of things here, ya’all gotta be a bit critical in your thinking, particularly what you see on the internet, and moreso now when it comes to moon shots.. and i’m not just mooning around.
Rodney Campbell and I went and checked out this month’s super moon coming up over north end of Bondi. Pretty challenging given it was a tad windy and getting a decent sharp shot was kinda hard, not to mention being in the right spot.
All these shots are single exposures, no blending ( TBH i cannot be bothered
) and the colour is pretty much what is was and what you would see with your naked eye, even the kids when ‘wow’ thats a cool moon. Rodneys dog probably did too but he cant talk.
I think next time I gonna have to bring a telescope and a concrete block (to weigh it down) to make sure the wind does not continually vibrate the camera causing blurry shots
and get close enough to really see the people against the moon.
These are all taken with the sigma sport 150-600 with 1.4TC at 840mm f9 or f10 with ISO ranging from 800 thru to 5000 and shutter speed of about 1/2 second. I have included a shot of the moon from a few nights ago on a really nice and clear night, same lens, same focal length, gives a good comparison of the detail when shooting straight up compared to across the horizon, which is obviously gonna be more hazy and dirty due to more atmosphere etc…
