Blue Moon Eclipse
-
Hey.
This is my first post in this section.
The longest lens I have is a 70-200 so the zoom isn’t great.
Martin.
Hi Martin. I would be happy to have taken this shot. 200mm isn’t a great focal lenght to use for this type of photo, but you have successfully captured the eclipse. The image looks a little soft, but a little sharpening in PS might bring out a little more detail. Well done
Well done Martin, especially as it was so cold out last night :) I have a couple waiting for processing
but now the gallery is gone I dont know how to upload :D :D I love moon pictures and they are very
hard to get right, but with the equipment you used you have done really well, and a bit of useless
information……….it has been 353 years since a partial eclipse of a blue moon has been seen in Ireland on
New years eve!!! :Dshutterbug: Funnily enough i knew that (Astronomy Ireland).
miki g: It was my first time shooting the moon so I don’t think I did too bad.
:) …Still a great shot…..Just a slight down, will be magic……Pity theres no thumbs up smiley!
P.S. I love it……Happy New Year :D :D :D :D :D
Martin,
Good to see someone else here took a go at this astronomical event.
Good effort and well done on braving the cold! ;-)200mm you are pushing the lens a bit to be honest.
I took mine at 400mm, and it need every bit of it and a bit more if I had it.
Might invest in a teleconverter sometime.
Sharpening helped nicely.I’ve have a 2x teleconvrter lined up already and the next lens on my list is a sigma 150-500. Effective range of 1600mm, sounds nice to me. Haha.
I should mention I braved the cold by being setup inside my front door which is west(ish) facing and opening and closing the door every few minutes. Managed to shoot the whole lot in a t-shirt!!
Defiantly, and one better than the one I have now.
Must get a manfroto!!!!
