Photos of the Moon with a 400 mm

April 5th, 2009 Peter Korkala

Yesterday evening I made my first attempt to catch the moon with my 400 mm lense:

The photo is not cropped.

This is the same photo, but cropped (and I also sharpened it with unsharp mask in Photoshop):

This is the same photo once again, but cropped in another way. It turned out a little bit noisy, so I desaturated it and sharpened it with unsharp mask:

Now I’m waiting for the full moon! :)

Lunar Eclipse

August 17th, 2008 Peter Korkala

I almost missed tonight’s lunar eclipse, but thanks to a local newsfeed (Wighsnews) about the lunar eclipse I managed to get some photos of it.

Lunar Eclipse – 1/25, F13, 55 mm. Cropped.

I tried both with long and short shutter speeds, but with the long ones the photo was way to light (and with that, the eclipse was gone).

I really want to have another lense, I’d love to have a fast, good zoom lense, but they are very expensive… But someday… :)
