June Moon

As the sky looked reasonably clear late yesterday evening I set up the 70D on a sturdy tripod to take some shots of the Moon:

ISO 800  f7.1  1/400sec

IMG_1165
ISO 160  f5.6  1/125 sec


EF 100-400mm lens set at 400mm. Different settings on the camera gave different coloured tints.
The yellowish tint in the first is nearer to what I could see.
Both photos were cropped, sharpened and detail enhanced in iPhoto.

    1. TWG. It doesn't look as 'cold' as the second one.

  2. It is full on Friday. Let us hope for a clear night.

    1. Adrian. I find a full Moon less interesting with the lack of shadows to show the craters.
      A tad wet and stormy here at the moment. Haven't seen such heavy rain for decades and the rumbles of distant thunder could be felt through concrete floors.

  3. They are really nice images John. The 70D performs pretty well and from what I read can out perform the 7D any day.
