Lunar Eclipse – Totality
-
CianMcLiamParticipant
The beautiful red glow from the fully eclipsed moon last night:
My longest lens is a 200mm with an added 2x converter plus the 1.5 crop = 600mm if my maths is correct. The wind up on the Hill of Tara made sharp shots nearly impossible!
earthairfireParticipantphtgrphrunknownMemberRobertoMemberVery good. It looks sharp enough on this size.
I would clone out the three stars.LoGillParticipantPixelleMemberRobMemberBrilliant Ken. I’m well impressed with that.
Hope it wasn’t too crowded on Tara last night for you.Rob.
eddie65ParticipantneilmcshaneParticipantHi Cian,
I have the same shot.
You beat me to the post.
Leave in the stars.
I had no wind down in Navan.
Wounderful image.
I printed off 5 copies and gave them to the neighbours.Regards Neil.
FlipflipParticipantcarpedeumParticipantBrilliant picture! Well done.
Do you mind me asking what settings you used?
I spent about an hour last night using my Canon 350XT here in Dublin, but, couldn’t quite get the sharpness you achieved. I was using my Canon Ultrasonic EF 75-300mm lens, but, it was very difficult to get a steady shot.
RodcunhaParticipantBrilliant work Cian, I was at work, unfortunately I couldn’t take a single shot from the eclipse, but somehow I doubt I would be able to get such a quality shot.
Regards,
Rod
ajParticipantGrahamBParticipantWell you kicked my ass on this one.
I tried and failed to get a semi decent shot of this one.Outstanding work.
1 – Leave the stars in
2 – can you pst the exif dataCianMcLiamParticipantThanks for the comments and questions. Yes, there was a pretty large crowd on the Hill of Tara, mostly screaming teenie-boppers not in the least interested in the moon!
I liked the three little stars I have to say!
The photo was taken in manual mode with manual focus as results with auto-focus were way off probably because of the lowered illumination of the moon itself and the 2x converter. Exif is below: (subtract one hour from time though!)
