Moon?
Dec 10, 2011 20:17:23 #
I live in La Quinta, California and Yesterday I could swear that I saw a topic entitled "Moon" and it was a pic of the full moon taken in Arizona around 5pm our time which made me think that I should be seeing it just beginning to rise and I went out and took the first pic which with the auto focus and stability turned off With a tripod, using Live View and a remote trigger on my Canon T2i. It is the first reasonably sharp moon shot I've taken.
Then I woke up this morning way too early and decided to see what the lunar eclipse looked like and took the second picture after standing outside in the near freezing temp for about an hour and a half but it seems to have been worth it in my humble opinion... The moon is over Mt. San Jacinto, an 11,000 foot peek just west of Palm Springs.

Great shots, my bladder actually got me up in time to see it in the same phase of the eclipse that you have captured here. If you dont mind me asking, what was your zoom at on this?

Excellent shots. It was definitely worth the wait.

You got great shot!!! I love it. It should rank near the top if not the very top in this contest. I'm on the West side of Mt. San Jacinto, just opposite from Palm Springs.
I took this picture Friday night before the eclipse, a few minutes after 6 PM. When I took it, I didn't even notice the airplane and its contrail. until I openend it up on my computer monitor. The plane was flying high enough to be illuminated by the Sun.
Lucky shot...

I used the Canon 55-250mm Kit lens and it was set at 250mm and the picture was cropped. My previous full moon shots were just a little fuzzy around the edges which was caused by having AF & IS on, "Live View" off and using a $39.00 tripod with a plastic head that would shake when anybody got close to it. For these pics I tightened everything as tight as I could and the result was much improved.

You didn't stage the airplane??? I think there is a lot of luck in all good pictures...
Thanks to all
