Supermoon!

[Borga Voffe]

I need to learn something new. How to shoot that moon.....

I used a Sigma C 150-600 and my d750
What is the recomended settings on the lens?

I really stuggled with this one last night, it was pitch dark, it was midnight, heavy rain clouds passed infront of it, I was hungry...

What is the recomended setttings on d750 in such "tight spot", really, I had only a few minutes, befor that heavy rain came.

First thing i would say is you dont need f18,DOF at that distance will not be a problem,open up and that will drop your iso,cant show mine as they are not Nikon

Can show mine this way

As you can see with this Almost full moon, the iso was at 100, F6.5

I opted for a couple of more distant shots due to a lack of a decent telephoto. D3100, F/16, ISO 200

The camera body does not matter that much with a moon shot. It is a very bright light source. I use my D7200 with the Nikon 200-500 f/5.6 and my settings very a bit. but I start at 200 ISO, 5.6-7.1 aperture and around a 1/400 shutter. However I will experiment to get a solid black back ground and try to draw out the features. This is one that I took this week.

I found this article on Photography Life and it may provide some guidance for you on shooting the moon.

Looney 11 Rule for exposure—where X is your ISO, use a shutter speed of 1/X of a second at ƒ/11.

Here, I used my ancient Vivitar 85-205mm ƒ/3.8 lens on my D3200. Because this lens has distortion and aberrations that get worse, the wider the aperture, I stopped it all the way down to ƒ/22 (two stops below ƒ/11) and set the shutter two stops slower than as well, using 1/25 of a second at ISO 100.

This image was made by stacking five shots, I think, all taken on a tripod, with the settings that I just gave. With my lens zoomed to 205mm, the SuperMoon ended up having a diameter of about 450 pixels, on my 6016×4000-pixel DX sensor; up slightly from a diameter of about 425 pixels when I took a similar shot of the moon a few years ago.

Moon I use ISO 100 f/8 - f/11 shutter depends on how bright it is the full moons are quite bright so shutter is around 1/125 - 1/250 varies on conditions.
Did the moon phase in July shutters ranged from 1/13 - 1/250 with ISO 100 - 400 depending on conditions.
Shot with D750 200-500 and Kenko Pro 300 DGX 1.4 TC mirror lockup and remote shutter release and a sturdy tripod.
No Stacking here!
