Moon shots gone wrong


No... I mean higher so don't need longer lens... or lesser crop...

Actually, I do agree with Rashkae that you actually need to be at least that much (3000-4000m) higher to get a "bigger" moon with current equipment. Being at 1st Floor or 20+th Floor, it wouldn't make that much of a difference imo...(personally tried it on 1st Floor and 24th Floor, didn't notice anything bigger or the difference is not visible to my eye)

Oh. Well then I suggest a Saturn V rocket.

Really, you'd need to go at least 50,000km up in order to get the effect you want.

No, going that high will just reduce atmospheric interference, easier to get a sharper shot. But justshot wants a "naturally" bigger looking moon.

Justshot, did you fail basic science in primary school? You *do* know the distance of the earth to the moon is between 356400 to 406700km, right? Do you *really* think going 200m or even 2000m higher will make a difference?

Regarding the atmospheric interference, are you referring to light pollution?
 

Bro, oversharpen le. Soften it a bit better. Your moon too much goosebumps le.

hmm.. now tat i look at it again, it really looks kinda oversharpened. thanks for the feedback
 

Nice moon tonight...


Not exactly good for photography, a 3/4 moon is better.

For your info, that same moon was pretty when it rises the same night, but I got myself to blame for concentrating sunset and didn't notice the moon raised behind me and missed the full bright moon in blue hour...:(

sorry if out of thread...

Partially, but mainly also to haze and light refraction from high humidity and denser air.

I prefer to see your reply as NOT a personal attack. Good day.

The moon is pretty and the moment is right. But... the composition can be improved.
 

this is mine. also shot on 19/3 during that full moon period.

Using manual mode. f11 , 1/160 (5DMKII + 135mm f2, done a crop else the moon is very small :p )
