Wow that's some comparison you're attempting, the full moon to making love to your wife which I imagine you also won't be photographing.
Weather permitting, I'll certainly be photographing the moon tonight. But you totally miss my point, possibly deliberately?

Lots of interesting advice and info here for other uses but unless you have really high end gear I don't see the point of photographing it at all, it's just the moon, there are thousands of pics taken with cameras we can only dream of.
Thousands of porn films out there and some of those lads also have equipment I can only dream about, but I plan to be making love with my wife for many years yet!
Seriously, the full moon is one of the less interesting subjects to photograph, once you've risen to the challenge...

The moon is full at 13:53 UTC on the 14th. If you shoot the rising moon the previous evening, or the following evening, the difference in illumination and apparent size will be about 0.5%. Neither you nor your camera will notice the difference! In fact, if you wait a month, the next full moon will be less than 1% smaller. You'll still not notice the difference. The media is -as always- making the most of a difference that most of us just won't notice!
There is still a good reason to shoot in the morning. The temperature difference between the land and the air is much less, so the atmospheric disturbance is reduced, particularly if you're including the horizon in the frame. Good luck.

These two were actually playing at one stage & everywhere one went, the other would follow--they were quite comical.

Great shot!
Gulls are intelligent thieves and scavengers, quite happy to let something (or someone!) do the hard work, and dive in for the titbits.

Thanks. I just bought a Tamron 150-600mm lens. I'll practice with it this weekend.
That should do! My Mk 1 version of this lens works best at f7.1, using a D5300 seems best at ISO 500, S 1/1600. I don't understand why so many close the aperture down. A tripod makes sense, but don't worry about the moon's movement apart from keeping it in the frame. Camera shake is a problem, faster than 1/15 sec the moon's movement isn't.
Good luck.

Thank you. But you write in complete sentences, so I suspect the meaning will be lost on Little Kenny!

And his victory speech was far more gracious than I expected- a silver lining at least. I fear for the man- when he fails to get near his promised changes, a lot of disillusioned supporters will be unhappy, and some of them are nutters with guns. I suspect many Republican politicians are quaking in their boots. They've got a LOT of pie-in-the-sky promises to fulfil.

I couldn't agree more. It's difficult to photograph, unless you spend the next 9 months getting a lot of experience you will probably be disappointed with the results, and you'll miss one of the most astonishing things that the natural world has to offer.

I've tried shooting the sun with a 10 stop filter, and only just managed to get anything sensible with a D800, 600mm, F22, ISO100, 1/5000. It was fraught and risky. A 10 stop filter is simply not dark enough to succeed with a Rebel T6, and there is a significant risk of ruining the shutter, possibly the sensor, and worse, the retina of your eye. A good quality mylar film, made for the purpose, or welding filter got from someone who knows what they're doing, are essential.

This side of the water it's half the price, 95% as good as Nikon's 105mm. A no-brainer.Oct 31, 2016 18:29:37 #

Some scenes from a couple days in Venice
Great shots of a beautiful city. In case you're planning to show the first pic., the correct name is the 'Grand Canal' - with a 'd'. 'Canal Grande' in Italian.

Hi, same here. Not much of a TV watcher, and I'm not familiar with the programme, but I can't see any intrinsic humour in the ubiquitous chocolate digestives. Maybe something to do with 'Grab & Go', but I suspect there's something previous in the plot. Hopefully a fellow Brit will help, 'cos you've got my curiosity going!
