Exactly what I wondered: is it possible to see the final result? That would demonstrate (at least to some extent) the impact of the lighting set up, and serve to confirm the validity of the reasoning and suggestions that have been made. Love it as a learning experience!
I've tried a bunch of systems. The one I like the best, and have gotten the best results from, is the micro-tools kit at
https://www.micro-tools.com/collections/sensor-cleaning-supplies. The Giotto lens blower is critical! I'm sure there are other systems...just offering this as an example since I've been happy with it.
Ed - I agree that the information provided is extremely helpful, although I really need to attend a "Resizing For Dummies" workshop or something like that in order to practice. I used to be a Canon person but switched a couple of years ago to the Sony system. Does the information in the article apply to all images regardless of the equipment used?
Thanks
Thank you so much!! The information about the settings is very helpful as I'm still learning how to adjusting for light, plus I tend to neglect the tripod and that's something I'm going to have to be more disciplined about...especially in situations like this.
Again, your response is much appreciated! There are indeed more moon shots. I know they are not the most exciting images, but getting a good one is a goal of mine. :-0
I am fairly new to photography. Went out the other night to shoot the SuperMoon. I live on east coast, in an urban environment and went out around midnight to shoot. The moon was high in the sky as opposed to closer to the horizon. All I got was a big round ball of white. No craters. Even using ON1 Software to de-haze and de-noise, there is nothing but a big white ball. I was using a Sony 7rIV and a Sony 70-300 lens (I don't have 'big' lenses - yet). Can you share with me all the setting you were using and any/all direction or guidance on how I might get a better shot next time the moon is preening? Thanks!
I can recommend Wilderness Safaris.
