Default Harvest Moon tonight
Anybody planning on photographing the Harvest moon tonight? Supposedly the full moon will rise in the east at the same time that the sun will set in the west creating a beautiful effect. It is one hour away for me. I can't wait!
So I am planning...I just found out about this so I have not had time to research much.
Tripod-yes
I don't have a remote, so I guess I will use the 2 sec timer.
Iso anywhere from 100-400?
F 8, maybe f11. not sure
Fast shutter, maybe 1/100 or higher.
I'll have to use my 250mm lens, I guess, to get the closest.
Any other thoughts.
Oh, and I think I will try bracketing the shots, just to see how it comes out.

I'm hoping these clouds give me enough break to have a shot. I won't be able to get the full 180º+ to show moon and sun, but it'll be nice knowing the full moon shot is from such a rare occasion.

You also might try the mirror lock-up option if your camera has it.

I got a few pics before the clouds took over. They are kind of noisy it seems, which I don't understand. I was only at ISO 400. Oh well, at least I got it. I might try to fix them up a bit at some point.

Wow - was it really that colour? Looks amazing.
Too cloudy tonight for moon spotting.

I didn't get it when it first appeared due to the clouds, but I did get a glimpse as it was emerging.
