On Monday it was a very clear night so I decided to get some pictures of the moon. I used a 105-450mm lens with a 2.2 times adapter on it. So I had a 990 mm lens. To get stable shots I had to use a tripod. Normally I’d have used my remote but the battery had gone, so I used the timer to let the camera settle down between pressing the shutter and the picture being taken.
To start of with I had the camera on aperture priority mode but this exposed for the sky, so the moon just came out at as a white blob. So I went over to manual mode and took a series of shots, increasing the shutter speed each time until the picture started to become too dark.
I got two good pictures.
25752578
These were both taken with an aperture of F18. The one on the left had a shutter speed of 1/30s and the one of the right was 1/100s.
I wanted to get some pictures of the full moon, but every night since Monday it’s been too cloudy to get any decent shots of the moon.
