Post subject: | Finally some Lunar Luck |
![]() Got a full moon low on the horizon with little in the way of atmospheric interference. About 4 a.m. this morning. Big surprise here was the Nikkor P 105mm f2.5. At ISO 400 here, and f-11 and 1/250 sec. ![]() 300mm f4.5 H Nikkor at f8 and 1/250 sec. ![]() 500mm Tamron "B" mirror at f8 and 1/250 sec. The Tamron focuses well past infinity, which is a plus for this kind of thing. All images were taken hand-held with me bracing against the bars of a wrought iron fence. I think these would all be a great deal sharper (especially the Tamron) off a tri-pod and electronic release... I can't quite get over the performance of the 105mm Nikkor. That is truly impressive for what's considered by most a "portrait" lens. Regards, Doc Sharptail |

If I can get up again tonight, I'll try with the tripod and electric release. Regards, Doc Sharptail |

That is interesting. It looks a bit like the incomplete stitching that NASA releases from time to time. Tell us a bit how this image was made. Regards, Doc Sharptail |

That's some interesting imagery alright. It almost looks like ice formations on some of your lunar surface frames. I think I'm doing as well as I'd be able to with the equipment I have: A full frame DSLR, and my longest lens is a mirror. It's a 500mm 55BBAR 5B f8. I need to discipline myself to get back onto the tripod, and start learning to use live view for focusing. Regards, Doc Sharptail |

im seeing faces in those first two shots - thats a bit scary on a level i cant say ive experienced before , marvelous shots mario , ive loved you art in the past as well , i bet some of the new members might enjoy that in another thread if you have time down the road , i have not tried to chezx out the archives to see what we might have left but i remember some real fun [intricate work] on your part in days past that i did really appreciate seeing , im inspired by the infux of new faces here and think they need to know how great it once was here , back in the day we had a lot of interesting content here , i think it could be that way again should we be able to inspire more participation , i also miss your posts a lot , ![]() |
