Tell me what you think about this picture... This was my first time trying a picture of the moon. The moon was nice and bright outside tonight, so I thought "why the hell not".
Amazing how small the photographed moon looks, isn't it?Here is the original for comparison:
Was it shot in RAW? If so, the white balance it easy enough to change.It is perhaps due to white balance issues... I definitely didn't think of white balance, so that was set on auto...
does the rule of 1/3 apply to moon shots??? lol
I find it very surprising that with such a small aperture (high value), high shutter speed and low ISO speed you can actually get a well exposed picture of the moon. I mean it's not all that bright, is it?Process was rather simple actually. Taken with a Nikon D80 and a 70-200mm VR Nikkor lens (nothing special).
f/16
ISO 160
Focused in at 180mm

yah my photography professor tells us all the time, never place an object in the center of the picture blah blah blah. I was just wondering if this applies!!
