The Moon: with a Point and Soot

[andrecb]

Based on this post, ... Use What’s Around You, I decided to take shots of the moon.





I have been trying for so long to take "Close" shots of the moon, its very hard to take a sharp shot because of the zoom.

But you can do It even tho you only have Point'n'Shot camera.

Here is how

the only things you need, besides the camera of course, are a binoculars with a good zoom (mine has x22 max), and some patience to focus, and steady the camera in the right place...





















ISO100
EV -2.0
F5.4
shutter speed 13? (didn't really understand the values of this camera, I know 1 sec is shown like this 1'' then goes 8 13 15 .. 125... 1000)

just to give you an Idea, this is the max zoom of my camera, witch is 3x




heheh Hope you like it

I like what you achieved thats a fantastic result from a point a shoot

The only thing I would suggest is maybe adjust the contrast up to make your blacks blacker and also give the effect of sharpness, if your moon goes a funny colour then adjust the saturation down to will bring it towards its original colour.

But like I said great results!

I'll try to make a Tripod adapter, for binoculars to make it easier to shot
