I finally got my opportunity after 3 months of waiting to catch a full moon with my new camera. (Not so new now, lol). Still feel lucky that it happens to be a Super Flower Blood Moon, and the night of full lunar eclipse.
Not sure if I'll make it to be awake for the full eclipse, and doubt it. If so, I'll make another post with it. This is still a cool event for me. It's one of the best pictures I've ever taken of a full moon.
My first attempt had the ISO setting on auto, and that ended up ugly... the camera auto adjusted it to 8000 ISO and the shots were super grainy. After viewing, I tweaked some adjustments and got this nice shot.
The camera shoots up to 60Mb RAW files, which I cropped just a bit, and adjusted the brightness a touch in PS. One of the great things about this camera, the high resolution allows for some really deep cropping if desired.
Here's an even tighter crop which is kinda cool.
Below is the original uncropped shot.
Sony A7R4 with Sony 200-600 lens +1.5TC - tripod
F/13 - 1/80 sec - -3step - ISO-80 - Focal length = 791mm (lens+TC)
Starting to get the hang of the camera, and recalling some old skills that I haven't used in many years. I've already remembered some other tweaks for the next time to be even better!
Enjoy!
