Full Moon over Saigon River

[butch3r]

This shot was taken during the Vietnamese Mid-Autumn Eve! (Chinese calendar 8th month). I was carrying only one lens that was the 70-200mm at that time, and without a tripod, so i decided to bring the ISO up to 2500, the result was just fine, and the image was a bit grained!



Camera:Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Lens: Canon EF 70-200mm 2.8L IS USM
Exposure: 0.077 sec (1/13)
Aperture: f/2.8
Focal Length: 73 mm
ISO Speed: 2500

Wish i could have a wide lens at that moment and a tripod also, so that i could make the full moon looks better!
Thank you FoG!

butch3r, nice capture for not having a tripod. I have noticed when taking moon shots if you bump up the shutter speed higher you don't get that orbed glow effect out of the moon and it comes out crystal clear plus helps eliminate the use of the tripod.
