Grebel Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 The moon is actually very difficult to photograph and you need to play with your camera settings to get it right. Thanks Gummi. Having a look at that picture, you can clearly see that I need to play a LOT more!!
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!

To slap on some presets is no magic and neither is a bit of cloning etc here and there, when a computer becomes important is when you start to work in multy layer images, some of my landscapes is up to 1.5gig big!! Then my pc with 4gig RAM just chockes and that is not fun. I still use pc, but mac is on the shopping list. But for 20K I can now buy another probody or a L series lens, which will make me more money than a new pc. And yes, that price is for the 27 inch i5 Mac. Super computer and really a gem, but as I said unless you are a full time photographer that is editing award winning shots, you do not need a mac. Yes it will be better and yes it might be faster, but for your wifes application you really do not need it.
Wyatt Earp Posted July 6, 2011 Author Posted July 6, 2011 I agree with Dewald, you don't need a R 20 k Mac.I don't even do layers and other stuff, I try very little post editing, other than the HDR stuff.The 21.5 inch i-Mac at R 10 500.00. is simply brilliant, the screen quality is great and it's simple to use, also bear in mind that Aperture 3 from the app. store will cost you around 700 ZAR, what is also cool are the various presets.With Aperture you have option to link to facebook as well as flickr.Spend the rest of the money on a use 24-105 mm F4
gummibear Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Spend the rest of the money on a use 24-105 mm F4 That's a awesome lens and very under rated.
