I can not get a good moon shot
Feb 19, 2014 09:36:41 #
I have been trying to get a good picture of the full moon, for some reason it is being a problem for me,
I have a nikon 5200 using a 55 to 300 lense,
the problem seems to be that I can not get a focus on the moon, I cant get a clear focus, if I could get the clarity , the camera would take a quality pic,
somebody help me!!

Focus on infinity, should clear up the problem.

I have the same lens...try manual focus or try setting your camera to center spot focus and use the viewfinder.

1. tripod
2. f8 on the lens
3. Go to live view.
4. 10x magnification...manually focus the lens.
5. expose properly...
6. fire WITH a shutter release.

This person needs to learn the VERY BASIC before shooting for the moon and try a lunar landing and THAT is what I mean. Of course, being peppery and everything else, that escapes you.

It's not rocket science. Any beginner can lean to shoot the moon with very little instruction. Don't flatter yourself.

Enjoy the non-sense.
