p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · blood moon, 3 planets


Blood moon this morning 4/4/2015. Suprisingly dark: 1 sec f8 ISO 1250

and 3 planets 5/26/2013. Notice that the points of light are too broad to be stars. Very rare to get 3 planets within 700mm field of view. 1/5 sec f8 ISO400

both pictures with 5DIII, 500f4L IS and 1.4X

The moon was quite something last night for sure. I am a bit curious about your first photo - it looks extremely noisy and a bit soft to have been produced by a 5D3 + 500/1.4x. I am wondering if there is possibly something in your post-processing / resizing process that is resulting in a downgrade in quality of your images that maybe is worth looking at.

This is a 100% crop of a photo taken with my 6D and 400 5.6 on a wobbly tripod and it seems to be sharper to my eye, when the optics of that combination are significantly inferior.

The blood moon phase only lasted about 4 minutes. I was slightly late in setting up, and was still experimenting with exposure, and in hindsight, this image was a good 2 stops underexposed. I was trying not to blow out the highlights, and was running out of time. I have much better moon shots, with a full, bright, high contrast moon.

Don,

I hope it is OK to "ride" on your thread

Against my better judgement, due to haze and excessive city lights, I took one too







Taken with a 7D2 with 500mm and 2X TC, ISO 1600, 0.6 sec, -1 stop.

Don,

That was an uncropped image from my 7D II using live view and a remote shutter release.

Thank you very much for allowing my post.

Cheers

April 4th -Playing with the 800mm Rokinon on my 7D - Hand-held, ISO 640 (should be lower), No LV, No MLU, etc...

If I used a tripod, and changed all the wrong technical aspects above - I MIGHT be able to get slightly better results. The focus throw is very short for this lens - so nailing focus is very difficult.

Dan, I missed the color from earth's shadow...about 15 hours too late. I did shoot one in 2008 here
