Moon Pics

I'm trying to figure out how to take moon pics. Pretty crazy.

I'm sure it will get better after I do some reading. My goal is to be able to take some star pics too.

Amazing image! What kind of set-up did you use? Special lens or tripod?

I was pretty blown away last night when my family presented me with my Father's day gift.

Well, it's actually on it's way. :)

As many of you know I love to take pictures, and up till now I have had to borrow the cool camera that I take them with. I don't really take it out of town or anything, cause it belongs to work. Well.... with the little bonus I got for ten years on staff and my kids and wife chipping in... I ordered this kit last night.

This is a really big deal for me, and I am just about as blown away with this as I was when I got an ipod a couple of years ago! SWEET! Now, watch out, I may be a postaholic pretty soon.

I am so excited! I am already planning some photo trips and researching how to take pictures of the night sky!

It should be here by Wednesday next week.

Do I sound excited? :) :taz

That is indeed a sweet kit you have there!!! :) :thumbsup

On this particular shoot I used a tripod and had the auto timer count down so I didn't shake the camera at all. I set it on 100 iso and let it saturate for about 30 seconds. I tried a million different ways, but finally it worked. Most of the time I got a glowing white ball. :)

Very nice Rick. :)

A cable release is a good way to take pictures without shaking the camera. I used to use one when I was in film school, and doing stop motion animation. It is also great when taking pictures of items you wish to put into photoshop or painting programs. ;)

Very pretty!

Yeah, on this one I think there is a wireless remote I can get. I'll check it out on ebay.

moyer777 · July 08, 2008, 10:34:20 PM

I took this one during the day... pretty cool.

Nice clouds tonight...

Rick your pictures are amazing...

Thanks Kenny. You guys and gals are the only folks I really share them with, other than myspace pics. I do use a lot of them on backgrounds at the church projector. People don't realize they are mine, but that is ok. I'm glad some people like them.
