Moon shots with a 55-210 lens
Mar 12, 2014 13:14:46 #
I'm still getting used to my new Sony NEX-7. I have a 55-210mm lens. I went out last evening and noticed the moon very pale in the evening sky. It was still pretty light out, but the moon was already halfway to mid-point for the first shot.
I then found the digital zoom on my camera and took the second shot. At that point it still wasn't totally dark and the moon was more than three quarters to mid-point in the sky. I know there's some aberration in the shots, but I'm still impressed by the definition on the moon's surface that I was able to get.
Hand held - and I was shaking a bit trying to keep the camera on the moon.

Great shots especially since they were hand held. Wish mine were half as good :)

I thought the moon was round, not shaped like a loaf of bread. Live and learn.

Thanks. It was a spur-of-the-moment thing. Tonight I went out and tried to get some more shots and didn't get any. I have a lot to learn about my camera so it's all good practice anyway...
