Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Playing around with the 80-400 OS lens and got this one - the most impressive part is this was hand held at the 400mm end.

Did you use flash?? :lol:

Nice shot Virgs but maybe you could have opened up a stop more? More detail may be pulled out of the shadow areas.

I like this pic Big V - pity it wasn't a little brighter though. I love looking at the moon, but it's only when you can see it in this kind of detail that you realise that we have a giant hunk of rock hurtling around our planet! :shock:

Love it!
Moon shots are cool imo and this is very good for a non-telescope, hand held shot for sure!

With all the hand held Moon shots happening lately, this was with my old 300mm + TC201 on Wednesday morning.

yes, its a bit oversharpened, it was also taken during the day!

One of these days I'll take a few through the scope with the D70.

Only they arent shadow areas- they are areas of terrain under full sunlight conditions, with a similar albedo to black coal, so the exposure is pretty spot on I'd say 8)

thanks. That sounds like a good destination ;) Hopefully you will get plenty of clear sky and not too much heat up there in the Flinders Ranges.

Absolutely no reason you cannot hand hold, the surface of the moon is lit by the sun so it the same exposure as a bright sunny day on earth.


Did you hear about the 2 blondes sitting on the verandah watching the moon rise?

One says " What one is closer the Moon or Melbourne?"

Her friend replies.

"Duh! Can you see Melbourne from here?"

Gordon, it was 41 in Adelaide today and 44 up there, so I think there is going to be heat...
