Super Duper Moon Shot?
Sep 28, 2015 11:19:41 #
Frome the East Bay, San Francisco area. The hills blocked the eclipse, but this was shortly after the moon rose high enough.

I only got a few as the clouds rolled over the moon here in Colorado last night.

Lucked out in northern IL. Cloudy all day and as the moon rose, but a temporary clearing occurred around 8:30 - 10:00 so got to see and shoot the moon as earth's shadow progressed and into the full eclipse.

Hi.... Your shot looks very nice. I had a terrible time getting a sharp shot while the moon was eclipsed. Would you mind sharing your settings? Thanks!

4.0 sec exposure at f/11. 280mm, ISO 6400. Manual focus on a tripod. Tried a couple in Manual, then switched to AV for this. Canon 6d with EF70-300mm, f/4-5.6 IS USM.

Thank you so much for sharing! I will have to practice some more, although my settings were not too far off of these. I used my Nikon D700 and and 80-400mm.

No great. But thought of sharing what I took in Minneapolis.
Did not know how to hook up Sigma 150-500 to the tripod.
Hence took a handheld shot with Canon 6D

The moon can drive you crazy! Maybe, that's on purpose? This was shot In Aug, 2014, handheld with a Canon SX50. Go figure!

Nice job AlMac
Thanks SoftLights. The moon was so dim during the eclipse so I had to use a longer shutter speed than I would have liked, hence the moon is not as sharp.

Nice shot.

Clear skies here. Couldn't figure out how to get a decent shot with my D3300 so I resorted to attaching my P7800 to my telescope and used aperture preferred with 3 stops under for exposure comp.

Here's one. Shot with Canon 7D, manual focus using Canon 300mm f4L with 1.4 extender. Aperature was wide open at 6.3 with shutter speed around 80 and Auto ISO.

Thousand Oaks, California had bands of clouds. This shot was one of three I was able to get as the moon passed between bands. Was surprised at how dim the eclipsed moon was and had to go to ISO 6400 with 1/2 second at f5.6.
Nikon D7100, 300mm FX zoom (450mm equivalent), ISO 6400, 1/2 second, f5.6

Sorry for your dilemma. I had a great time with a bunch of fun folks and their cameras and got some images to remember this wonderful event with. Taken at f/6.3 for 2 sec. with ISO of 640 on a 7D II and a 500mm lens. Best, J. Goffe
