Birdie Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Wow! Some amazing pics!!! Here are 3 of my favourites. Annual cycling trip up Sani Pass. In photo: Justin Porteous, Tyron Bird, Candice Neethling and Gary Neethling Knysna Oyster Fest 2010 St Bernards Peak 2009
patham Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 I finally downloaded my eclipse pics, boy what a load of tripe they were. However, after a bit of playing around to get the edge of the penumbra shadow into a red spectrum, the end effect is interesting - but still far from publishing material. Anyone get any good pics & post processing work done on the eclipse?
Grebel Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) I got this... Only one in focus (well sort of) and as close to what I saw with my eye as possible (Might be a bit exposed) Definitely not publishing material, but seeing as you asked... Full zoom on a 70-300 Sigma. Edit: having another look at yours, this one is pretty k@k really! Edited July 5, 2011 by Grebel

There's a reason why my pics of the full blown eclipse went straight to the recycle box, mine were dismal. There was so little light to play with, that getting a proper exposure without very high ISO levels (and hence noise)was impossible on my setup. Focussing was also nigh impossible. I think that some things you do need pro kit for...

The moon is actually very difficult to photograph and you need to play with your camera settings to get it right.

I think that some things you do need pro kit for... I hear you! I couldn't even see the moon using live view so I tried focusing manually. At that angle with that amount of light I battled. Switched to shutter priority and set the shutter speed from 2 - 5 seconds to see what came close. Only looked at the pics on the PC the next night and saw how far off I was.

Wyatt Earp Posted July 5, 2011 Author Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) I only figured out afterwards that my shutter speed was too slow and that the moon was moving at a stinking speed, that and the ballhead on my tripod slowly moves with the camera and the zoom lens being so heavy.No too impressed either.Mine were taken with a Canon 70-200 f2.8 and a 2X converter. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2790/5837270220_179bc6e378_z.jpg1 by OddPix1, on Flickr http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5077/5837298328_737f547a2d_z.jpg_MG_5995 by OddPix1, on Flickr http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5107/5836752469_2b3149dc9b_z.jpg_MG_6008 by OddPix1, on Flickr http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3101/5837303570_2744a48551_z.jpg_MG_5997 by OddPix1, on Flickr http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3414/5836727913_9de1754340_z.jpg5 by OddPix1, on Flickr Edited July 5, 2011 by Dangle

Big H* Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 A cropped moon picture. Canon EOS500D, F/10, 1/200, ISO-400, focal lenght 340mm. I cropped the original and it was taken with my Sigma 150-500. I do not have a tripod here and had to use the Mono Pod
Big H* Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 My other hobby, nice new carbon bling with CNC aluminium goodies!
