Super Moon


The bottom picture was taken yesterday.  The top one was taken just moments ago.  I didn't reset my camera clock, so the exif data aren't exactly right when time is concerned.  Anyway, it's much harder than I thought taking a good picture of the moon.  The above was cropped at 100%.

    Lucky you. I didn't get to see it in HK. It was either cloudy or that happened in the wee hours.

    I don't know how to take a photo of the moon.

    It wasn't all that big. But it sure was bright. Perhaps I saw it a big too late, the biggest should be around 7.26PM or so. I shot it around 9PM I think. It was cold outside.

    You need a good tripod, a long lens, and patience. The above is OKAY. I guess if I planned better, more patience, I guess maybe it could be better.

  4. I thought the top photo was taken from NASA. Well done, Robert.

  5. Thank you. Yes, I know NASA shoots Hasselblad and Nikon.

    It's pretty frustrating experience actually. My eyes don't see that well and I don't have a long enough lens to reach the moon. I make use of whatever I have.

  6. Well, I can see the craters pretty clearly in the photo.
