Can you please share with me how you were able to take this moon image with just a Nikon 990? I estimate the magnification at about x60, how was this achieved? I would like to learn.
Cool. Telescope attachment for your camera? The focus is undeniably where it needs to be -- on the craters on the horizon -- but the rest seems a little blurry. I wonder if that's an optical illusion. (Just talking aloud, has no bearing on your score.) You could have removed that band of yellow that follows the edge by completely desaturating to a pure B&W and then bringing a little bit more color in by colorizing and adjusting hue and saturation until you got the tint you wanted. (All if you have PS of course -- in another program, not entirely sure how you'd do it.)
It's probably me, but I see a reddish/brown cast on the moon. (Just me being a nit.....) Except for the color (or my eyes) this is an excellent job! You must have 12x or greater zoom! (How long was your exposure time, I have been experimenting with moon shots, your's is much better!!!) Photo 10 Creativity 8 B&W 9 (I am certain the color thing is my monitor or my eyes) total 9
Well, I think that this is a good photo, but I'm having a problem believing that it is a legitimate entry. Either this is a picture of a picture or you have an incredibly huge tele-photo lens. I can think of one other possibility, but that seems a little far-fetched. I'll be interested to see your explanation. Meanwhile, I'll vote on its merits.
Great day in the morning! I bet you can get some wicked pictures of that solar eclipse coming up June 10th!! If I could change something it would be to make it more defined, but getting this close is a feat in itself!! Great job.
Greenish yellow highlights on a black and white picture shouldn't be allowed. But I'd be interested to hear what kind of lens you used to get this close up to the moom with such detail.
The greenish saturation on the bottom left of the moon is very visible and defeats the purpose of black and white. I think you needed to convert it to grayscale once you shot it.
Nice - my "moon shots" are always just a blob of light. You might be interested in the info on photographing the upcoming solar eclipse (see links in the forums) from NASA.
