Supermoon!!
« on: March 20, 2011, 01:10:48 AM »
Oh noes we all gonna die!! (not really  :D )

But I did get a semi-nice moon picture!!!



This picture is edited a little. I had to adjust the contrast to get rid of light pollution around the moon.



For now thats the max zoom I can acheive. I took this one with my 70-300mm lens. Hoping to eventually get a 650-1300mm lens.

Then I can get some closeups!! :rock

I knew i forgot to mention something in the original post.. I live in a small town so light pollution from city lights isn't a problem for me. I have serious issues with light from the moon making the a big circle of light around the moon and causing it to look fuzzy. It didn't help that there was a very thin layer of clouds over the moon which made the area of light around the moon worse. I simply added some contrast to the picture the extra light from the moon is removed leaving me with the above picture. This was the original:






Nice

Yes sir. Took it a couple hours before I posted it here.

There was a full moon about a month ago where the Moon looked huge. I was hoping someone took a picture of it.

When I was driving back home last night it was rising up straight on my 12... It was almost as bright as cars coming the opposite direction. Wish I took the time to take some pictures. I'll take one tonight maybe, its not too late.

All the beauty is out of humankind's reach.
On Earth, there are few things left,
untainted.

But that is another discussion for another thread  :)
