Moon over Honolulu

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.

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.

Moon over Honolulu

Postby Wombat124 on Fri Feb 04, 2005 10:23 pm

Hi

This is my first posting to this Forum (Image Revies and Critiques)

I have seen a number of Moon shots - this one was my first attempt using the D70. Taken at 300m and used a tripode and EV compenation to eliminate any blooming. Cropped the photo in Photoshop to eliminate dark spaces - no other processing.

Hi Steve - what can one say about the moon except nice shot. More of interest is which 300mm lens did you use and secondly the moon certainly looks different over Honolulu :wink:

I sometimes wish we had more than one moon which would be fascinating especially if they were closer - but I suppose I am an old trekkie at heart

Hi here,

this is also an image of the full moon.
This one is from downunder and I can see a difference in the view here.

Have a look at:

I used an old lens that I had for my Nikon 35mm SLR. Nothing fancy. It was a Quantaray, 70-300mm, Marco, 1:4 - 5.6 D. Purchased the lens about 3 years ago and have used it on a number of Nikon cameras.

Hi Wombat,

you could try to take another moon shot with f11 and 1/100.
If that doesnt turn out ok, play with it and you will get a nice result.
(what I'm saying is: go manual ...)

Hi Christian

Yes there are difference - the little spot on the top/right of my image is a the bottom/right on your image. We now have a Nothern and Southern Hemisphere perspective.

Finally got to upload images with a lot of initial problems - sorted out now.
