Moon (well, bits of it anyway)
Mar. 5th, 2007 12:16 pmOne or two pictures of this about already but still; ( a couple of eclipse photos )
I'm not happy with them, but they're getting posted anyways because this is my journal, not a competition. So there and take that, demons of self-criticism.
I have good magnification; my 50 - 500mm lens plus x2 teleconverter = the equivalent of a 1000mm lens, which is enough to almost fill the frame with moon (these are cropped but not too much). The problem is that I don't yet have a "real" tripod (we used a small cheap one that we got for compact cameras) and there is camera shake. All the credit for getting the tripod as steady as it was goes to T.E.P., who is scarily good at centering the camera on the moon without even looking.
