The moon looked really cool tonight, so I popped on the longest zoom lens I have in the house, the 70-200mm f/2.8L, and fired a few shots off of my balcony.
I think it turned out not bad, considering I hand held it. If I had an extender I could probably do an even better job.
Nice shot. What exposure did you use that you were able to do this hand-held?
Camera: Canon EOS 40D
Exposure: 0.002 sec (1/500)
Aperture: f/2.8
Focal Length: 200 mm
ISO Speed: 400
Exposure Bias: 0 EV
Flash: Flash did not fire
that’s an impressive amount of detail/lack of blur for a handheld shot. cools.
That’s it! You captured it!
Beautiful picture Duane!!! 🙂
wow!
Goddamn you I’ve tried so many times to get a good moon shot. Must be the Hamilton air. Awesome dude.
Oh, and next time you see me, I’ll show you a big bright assmoon.
That’s as close as you can get?
nicely done. 😉
