Supermoon - shenanigans in CX

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Supermoon - shenanigans in CX

What a beautiful moon last night. This was snapped from my bedroom balcony with the help of my Nikon J1 + FT1 combination and that Tamron SP 500mm f/8 Adaptall2 lens that I am growing to love ever more. Stability was provided by a Sirui T2205x + K10x combination. These images have not been cropped.

Very nice Cameron. I too would like to try shooting a humungous lens with my V1. Not sure how to go about it though. Two of my brothers live on farms west of the divide, with endless opportunities for astronomic photography.

Truth said the humble 500/8 mirror is not a very large lens. You should get out there and have a play, it sounds like you have some good potential locations

Good photographs.
I always had a romantic view of the moon, but seeing it this big it and with so many details I cannot help comparing it to an old heart full of bruises, scars, and cold because of disappointments and unrequited love.

Wallace reckons it's made of cheese. Wensleydale to be precise.

Thanks Gerry....that mirror is sharp enough, as long as you nail the focus
