[QUOTE="Kodiak, post: 184909, member: 15426"] Most of the problems at shooting the moon come from the metering mode. File format and ISO (100-200) have little to do with it [B]IF[/B] you get the right exposition. • The matrix metering is cool when you want to measure a whole scene and get the ••best readout for it, such as landscapes and others. • To shoot the whole moon at centred full frame, since it is round and doesn't fill the ••entire frame, ponderate central would be a more desirable option. • If the moon is filling less then two thirds of the height of the frame and is not in ••the centre of it, then [B]"spot metering" is the right option[/B]: On the tripod with your frame set, take the red AF/AE reader over the moon, and test it using the shutter speed if you are on M mode, or the EV +/- com- pensation value selector if you are on A mode. In any case, the metered zone should contain [B]no black sky[/B]! If there are two celestial objects, spot measure both, and average using the shutter speed if you are on M mode, or the EV +/- compensation value selector if you are on A mode. This is going to be a tricky one since Mars will not be as bright as the Moon. The safest option would be HDR. Two shots, two exposures, and the final stack! Since Mars is way over beyond the Moon, focus is set at ∞ on the Moon. Have a good time! Read more: [url]http://nikonites.com/learning-photography/15465-moon-shot.html#ixzz2bjkMhgV4[/url] [/QUOTE]
