DerekD Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Picked up a new telephoto lens earlier this year and really enjoying playing with it for nature and other stuff (see below). I know the moon shots have been done many times better by many others but there is a great deal of satisfaction in doing it myself and learning from it. Canon 80D with Sigma 150-600mm lens. Straight from camera. No cropping or editing. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsswordfisherman Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I too am learning Derek. I have a Canon Power Shot SX70 HS and I got a nice Manfrotto tripod for Christmas. I tested it out on the recent blood moon. Here is a small selection of the dozens I took. I use my iPhone for most pics. On our travels I have enjoyed using the Canon for some flora and fauna shots. Your shots look very clear. I need to learn about the settings. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Donna, The settings for recent ones were: F stop f/6.3 (more or less set by the lens at this magnification) Exposure time 1/800 ISO 200 (more detail but risk getting it darker). I was also a bit lucky in that it was super clear where I was in Sydney when I took that. Just kicking myself because if I'd gotten down to the water an hour earlier they would have been even better. Regards, Derek PS. I like your collection of supermoon photos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
