    blue moon....



    Hello,


    took the picture last new year's eve. Used an XTi an 24-70 2.8. lens was really short had to do big time cropping of the image just to be able to show details.


    What do you guys think?? What did I do wrong?? what did I do right??[img]/resized-image.ashx/__size/700x450/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.00.38.62/moonpost.jpg[/img]

    looks pretty sharp to me. do you have a linger lens.. i get good moon shots with my 70-200 2.8 even with more cropping. i think all you need is a longer lens and youll be set lol

    Yeah, the linger the better


    Even 200mm is pretty short for a picture of only the moon.

    The highlights are blown out, use levels to bring them down.A longer lens will greatly help!!
