Saw the other thread with Aussie Dave's moon photos and then I did a bit of a google for the next full moon.

Turns out according to this site http://www.asnsw.com/almanac/index.html
it's at 9:03pm Sydney time tomorrow Thursday.

My suggestion is we all go out tomorrow night and:
1. Take a full moon related photo
2. Howl at it :lol:

3. Come inside, process it and then post it in this thread!

As simple as that. Weather should be mainly fine (except for Brisbane according to http://www.weatherzone.com.au/ )

I'll be waiting in the bushes with a silver bullet ready :lol:

What about the inversion Mic? :lol:

Posted: **Thu Jul 21, 2005 1:15 pm**

Shall give it a go....clouds permitting, of course !

It will be interesting to see what shots different lenses pick up, and the settings people use.....

You wait for a full moon to howl at :shock:

maybe that's what I am doing wrong....... :lol:

Would you like a gallery to submit to??

We could make it open (ie no regestration required)

Posted: **Thu Jul 21, 2005 6:18 pm**

Ill give it a try. Not looking foward to packing up the tripod afterwards though.....icy cold tripod legs mmmm.

A gallery sounds good MHD.

I found a much better moonrise calculator:
http://www.ga.gov.au/bin/astro/moonrisenset

So would the 9.03pm on the other site be the precise moment the moon is full, as opposed to the actual time it rises? Any amateur stargazers know the answer?

Actually I think Full Moon is at 9:01 EST tonight. Rise time depends on your location and your local horizon

OK, stand by while I moon ya's

Sorry, couldn't resist, someone had to say it

I'm early but ahhh bugger it, let's get the ball rollin' :lol:

Mudder's moon:
man exp. 400mm, F8, 1/200th, HAND-HELD, ISO200, 80-400VR and a play with levels in CS2

Posted: **Thu Jul 21, 2005 8:59 pm**

Here is my first attempt:

70-300G, resize in photoshop, that's it.

And a second, now with added photoshop frame:

Posted: **Thu Jul 21, 2005 9:12 pm**

My effort with wrong WB. Tungsten actually made the contrast better. Lens is the 70-300 Sigma @1/800sec F5.6

Posted: **Thu Jul 21, 2005 11:20 pm**

I'm outter this one....I've just about exhausted all my attempts!
Would be nice to see what settings others use in comparison though.
I did notice that early in the morning the moon looks abit dimmer and easier to pick out details then at night.
Anyone else notcice this?
Keep posting!
Andy, thats a great shot hand-held! Very detailed.
Cheers, Jase.

Nice shot radar, but it looks like the moon is having a gravitational effect on the earth and pulling the horizon closer to it... either that or the photo was taken at a slight angle..

Nice shots everyone... I couldnt even see the moon thru the clouds tonight.

Posted: **Fri Jul 22, 2005 3:36 am**

I am yet to see a moon in London......... with daylight up till around 9:30pm I guess it comes up way passed my bedtime.......

It was very strong when it got out of the water, almost pulled me in the water as well :lol:

Thanks,

Well, I tried last night (with both the 50mm and the 70-200 VR) and got a couple that were "okay" but it is painfully clear that I need to:
a) improve my tripod technique (still a newbie to tripod use - this was almost the first time I'd used it); and
b) learn post-processing big time. ("Sharpening"??? No really - don't laugh.....)

Posted: **Fri Jul 22, 2005 12:11 pm**

sorry for the lateness....here was my attempt from last night

Nice one... I love the profiling on the craters at the 2 o'clock position...
