Show me your moon shot!

Extra super-moon is suppose to be visible 8/14/14 this year. The moon is suppose to be 20% larger and brighter than comparable full moons. In preparation for this rare astronomical event, I have started shooting moon for practice last night.

Here is an example taken with a Tamron 55BB 500mm mirror lens with a 2x Tamron SP teleconverter from east coast of US. Effective focal length of 1000mm. Cable release was used and post processing

Taken with Olympus E-PL5 + Konica Hexanon AR 300mm F4.5 (@ F8.0) + Konica Hexanon Teleconverter AR 2X. Equivalent focal length of 1200mm if you also take into account the crop factor of the sensor.

The moon was so big that I had to use an ultra wide angle lens, the CZJ Flektogon 20mm F2.8: Laughing

Ok, I resurrect this thread because two days ago I took this one in the late afternoon, handheld, with my usual Hanimex 400/6.3 (EDIT: 1/800 sec, f/6.3, ISO 400 on Canon 60D):

Last months lunar eclipse


Olympus Zuiko 300mm F/4.5 on OM-D E-M5. Consider it a 2D slice of a 4d image. this was the only way I could come up with to composite them using a single shadow orientation while keeping the moon in the same orientation as it was relative to me.

Not the best test of the lens, full moons are pretty flat. I should go out in the next couple of nights and really put it to the test.

That's pretty amazing for hand held. At least for me, I can't hand hold for shots like that.

"me too" usually, I was surprised of the result. I was against a wall, I tried to set focus using live view and then shoot using viewfinder.

There's some impressive moon shots in this thread. And most impressive is - the fact that expensive, specialist, equipment isn't needed. I shall drag out the big old Slik tripod ( aka 'the scaffolding' ) and one of my 300's.

Does local light pollution make a great deal of difference ?

In fact, this is what I used (the top one, the rest is for comparison Smile ). BTW it is a kind gift by iangreenhaigh, with some small amount of fungus I never tried to remove. I tried it even doubled with a cheap 2x, but there is not much more detail and it is much more difficult to control.
Regarding pollution: I'm not able to tell much, I'm in a relatively clean area. The last picture has been taken in the afternoon, in a nice sunny yet cold day.

I took some Super Moon shots some years ago and I cannot tell the differences from reqular moon shots. Here is the last moon shot I took; it was taken some time ago, but I don't think I posted it here:

E-M5 + Rubinar 1000/10
