Hard to say anything except WOW!!!! Great moon shots. I'm gonna have to try a lot harder. Maybe it's the clear Texas air. :-D


Thanks...the moon was directly overhead, which probably helped with the image quality...appreciate you looking...

[quote=hb3]The shots below were taken just after 6AM today (9/24 13) from my home in East Texas....Shots were taken with the OMD-EM5, hand held in manual mode with the Olympus 70-300mm lens....I used the 2x in camera teleconverter for both shots

The first shot was taken at a focal length of 281mm, 1/500 sec, F6.7, ISO 200. The second image is simply a crop of the first.

The third image was shot at 300mm with the same settings, as above; ....the fourth image is a crop of the third.



Beautiful moon images! Only way to improve would be to go to the moon and take pictures while standing on it!

Given that these are my first attempts at the moon, I would appreciate any thoughts regarding how I can improve in the future....save, of course, not being so lazy and mounting the camera on the tripod....:-D

Thanks and enjoy....

It's obvious. Get closer to your subject!! Try 100,000 miles to start with. See how that goes.
