 NIKON D60 300mm 1/200th -1.6ev F16 ISO100
(Full) Corn Moon |
Finally! Had the right time, location, and perfectly clear sky. Shot from my 2nd story window looking west (early AM). I've got a lot of high trees on my property and took a bunch of shots until it went out of view behind the trees.
Nikon D60, Sigma 70 - 300 mm APO f/5.6 macro zoom. Manual exposure, remote release, tripod. Processed in GIMP - cropped with brightness-contrast to bring out the details. Original was 3900 x 2613, cropped is 768 x 534 (about 4x magnification). I didn't notice the "-1.6ev" until later. Hope that doesn't affect the exposure in manual mode(?).
The camera is maxed out in terms of sensitivity. I hit the noise floor as seen by the red/blue (mainly red) coloration.
This zoom is very tricky to focus, as infinity as not at the end of focus ring travel. I stopped down in the hope of getting the details. The dynamic range of RAW mode made all the difference.
I tried higher shutter speeds / lower f-stops and this is the best I could get. This makes one appreciate those fixed 400mm+ focal length lenses.
