It's been a while since I shot the moon, and not often we get the clear skies here in Vermont. I saw it shining through the window tonight and since the cold wasn't excessively bad, jumped outside for a few shots. Be sure to open these large screen, they zoom in really nice. The RAW files are amazing, but way too large to upload here.
F13 1/250sec - slight crop to fill canvas
F13 1/250sec - no crop
I'm still tweeking my settings. I shot all tonight at 200 iso, but I could easily shoot much lower I think, even with the big lens and 2x TC there was plenty of light, even had the camera set for a -2 stop adjust. A lower iso would help reduce grain and maybe even improve the sharpness a bit. Given it was cold, I just shot what looked good on viewfinder without a lot of bracketing or testing.
All shots were with a Sony A7RIV, 200-600 lens with 2x TC, (Effective 1200mm) shot in both RAW and jpg mode. The RAW shots started at about 58MB. Some of the shots were done in ASC mode, which is limited to 22MB files. Tripod and Shutter release used.
Did just a bit of brightness contrast in Photoshop, and a few of the shots then were cropped in.
Here's more of a crop on the first shot.
and then a bit more crop on that same shot.
Here it is in ASC mode, F13 1/320sec, no crop. It looks pretty close to the original shot in normal mode.
This one is the ASC shot cropped in.
And the ASC shot cropped way in.
Hope your Monday is howling good!
