My First Moon Shot in 2015
Jan 27, 2015 22:21:12 #
I braved the cold for a few minutes and snapped a few Moon shots through my Tamron 150-600mm at 600mm plus 2 stacked Kenko Pro 300 teleconverters (1.4x + 2.0x). There was some wind so I didn't stay out long... eyes were watering... I didn't go through all of my shots... just got one that was fair... gives me room to improve...

The more and more examples I see the more I believe I need that lens, especially for when the birds return this Spring.

Great shot Bruce, how did you get that nice grey color, I know some true moon knowledgeable people are going to cringe at my next comment, but in my shots no matter what I have been doing in the editing process the nose comes out too white. Anyway love the shot.

After reviewing more of my Moon shots I found a better shot of the Moon and posted it below...
I used PSE12 to darken the highlight areas to increase lunar details...

Sorry but your talking above my head, what is PSE12? Would that be Photo Shop Editor V12?

Another great shot by Bruce, nice work.
And to Oknoder, Get the Lens you will not regret it. I have it, and you can see how well it preforms in low light by my Comet Lovejoy pic.
And some of my Backyard Bird pics.

Thanks Matthew... much appreciated... I am really enjoying my Tamron 150-600mm lens... I was initially interested in the Canon 100-400mm but later changed my mind to the Tamron... The Tami is rated better than the Canon and the Tami has two distinct advantages... it is much less expensive and it also has a 200mm reach advantage over the Canon 100-400mm lens... :)

PSE12 is Photoshop Elements version 12... they now have a version 13...
Sorry for the late response... I had the answer ready to send and then I received a phone call and had to run an errand...

Thanks again Craig... I only had one Moon shoot this year... need to get out and try to best my best with the Tamron 150-600mm... maybe when the weather gets warmer and clearer I'll tote my Dynamax 8 out and try some more Moon closeups... see my Moon closeups that I took with my Dynamax 8 below...

Those are definitely WOW shots Bruce.
Are you going to point the 8" at Saturn & Jupiter???

I will need to go somewhere else to do Saturn, Jupiter, or deep sky photography... I have too much light pollution in my neighborhood with neighbors security lights on... Moon shots are not affected because it is so bright...
