[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 436185, member: 24285"] Did you get a shot of the blood moon. I managed a to shoot the transition to the Blood Moon, then the moon went down behind the trees. Not thrilled with my moon focusing skills Shot with a vintage Tamron 200-400 F/5.6 on a D610, tripod mounted. ISO some at 1600, some at 2400 F/10 (for most) Spot metering set on the moon. checked spot on moon in live view. Aperture priority set duration, up to 4 seconds. AF to get focus (used live view enlarged) then switched to MF mode to prevent focus change (checked a few times on AF to ensure continued focus) - did try manually focusing but could not get any better than the AF. It was about minus 12 out there, froze my fingers. Started at 4:15 a.m. finished close to 7:00 a.m. Have tried moon shots before, this is my best so far, but obviously still need to work on it yet. This first one is well pumped up in Corel PSPX7 [ATTACH=CONFIG]148661._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]148662._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]148663._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]148664._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]148665._xfImport[/ATTACH] Anyone know what happened here - I have a few shots like this with a line of black dots across the moon??
