moon pic during the day taken with sigma 70-200 and i used a trypod this time . i think zoomed in to much but i wanted the moon to be bigger.

ok i should have got the 70-300 lense
beam me up scotty - i did take the pic from my rooftop
here is the full pic just down sized for posting. but it shows all the dust i had on my lense

Hi, love the pictures, what were the camera settings for this? Have tried and failed with moon pictures before.

shoot full manual and experiment with differnet apertures and shutter speeds

Coolbeer, I agree with Frank, if you want bigger in the frame get closer. Try the roof of a mate with a two storey house


ps came out well

anubis i have tryed to do alot of moo pics too , the ones in the first postings were done in the morning and the sky was light and as blue as the pics .. the ones i take at night do take some time to get the right exposure , my main problem with the night shots are they come out not as clear as i wood like - this could be caused dy the cheep crappy trypod i have but setting the timer on for the shots dose help so your not touching the camera at the time of the shot .. here is one that failed but i still like it - it was taken when the sun just dropped down over the horision and the moon was verry bright ...

Hi there Coolbeer,

I have had similar experiences and pictures but this time at about 23:30-01:30 from our apartments balcony on the 6th floor. Have tried with really slow shutter speeds (like 8 secs or so) with a wide aperture but the moon just appears as a bright disk with no details!.

Used the Nikon 70-300 ED at 300mm for these shots, just doesnt seem to work....what were your settings?

I get very good pics with iso 200, f/6.7 to f/11 on 1/350th sec using a 70-200mm lens.
