la luna

Hi..
Well, as you can see this is a picture of the moon...I know that it doesn't say much but I'm just to excited that I got to close to it..;)
I shoot it with the D70 @ 300mm A.40 - S.2s.
Comments all ways welcome.

just a tip but its actually motion blurred.. 1/3 of second at f40 isnt the way to do it..

it might sound silly but its actually moving and u need a wider aperture and faster shutter speed to stop it..

there is plenty of light there u dont need the very slow shutter speed..

not bad thow..

Hello,

Nice shot, except Trog is right about the shutter speeds. It could be sharper.

For a moon shot, you can just about set your exposure the same as you do in mid day sun. Try f11 and 1/film speed. That's a good starting point. It may vary a little depending on how high the moon is in the sky. It'll need more exposure if it's closer to the horizon.

Also, it looks like your WB may be a little off...it's just a tad yellow...unless you where going for the cheese look. You would want to set that for sunlight, since the moon is in direct sun.

Hope this helps.
