I had my first attempt at shooting the moon this evening. Nice clear evening here with a bright moon, I had a rough idea of what was needed. Head out locally with my bag and tripod and set up with my longest lens(70-300) set to manual focus with vr off.
Switched to live view to zoom in and get a nice sharp focus but the image of the moon on the screen warlike a spotlight, too bright to try and focus on. Ive no idea why it was so bright on the live view and kinda ruined the shoot for me. I had to try and manual focus through the viewfinder at 300mm. Did my best but its still a small object to try and get sharp at that range.
Anyone any idea why the image in live view was so bright? I was even under exposing the shots slightly but when switched to live view it was just a bright light with no detail whatsoever.
