Five days old moon photographied wity my Canon 400mm f/5.6 lens.

Un magnifico trabajo, en B/W, perfecta definicion y un bello encuadre en cuarto creciente, saludos cordiales Gaetan, PN. no seven.

Excellent capture, Gaetan. Incredible how the moon, no matter what we read in scentific texts keeps its romantic mystery.

this is such a beatiful picture of the moon!!! I love it!!!

Great detail. 400f5.6 shines here. Nice crop and exposition.

Perfect!

I have been failing to get such a good exposure of the moon, what settings did you use? wonderfully done!

Great pic, Gaetan.

 

Ryan, think of the moon as though it were in full sunlight. After all, it is! You remember the sunny f-16 rule for exposure of normal pics. For the moon, an f-11 modification works pretty well. At f-11, use a shutter speed that is close to the ISO of the film. So for ISO of 400, f-11, shoot at close to 1/400, rounding off to the nearest choice as needed. You should bracket, but this gets you into the right ballpark. Most automatic meters screw this up and overexpose dramatically.

 

Clear skies and happy shooting.
