Celebrating 20 years of model photography!
Moon over Portland this morning

p442594536-5.jpg

This was taken with my old 7D Classic and a 200mm F/2.8 L wide open at 1/4 sec and ISO 400. Camera set for daylight color balance, did not change it in Lightroom.

Feel free to make jokes about putting my logo on a moon shot. LOL Lightroom does it automatically.

Reviving an old topic because the moon is awesome.

Had some better conditions tonight to try a shot of the moon with and without the Kenko 3X extender on the Tamron 150-600mm

Nice cold conditions with a clear sky. I had to crank up the ISO because the moon is so narrow tonight.

This is without the Kenko:

This is with the Kenko:

No post production, no noise reduction. This is straight from the camera, only cropped to loose most of the black sky.

I personally have the idea that the 3 times magnification actually gives less detail. So that makes it not a very good combo.

the 3x extender performs well on the 50mm and the 85mm, which makes it a nice addition to my bag.

I took my daughter out to a point on Lake Grapevine, where we shot the Harvest Moon a few months ago. This was my favorite of the set:

Shot with a 6D and the 70-300mm L @ 300mm, ISO 800, f/11, 2 sec exposure.

Edited in Lightroom with a bit of sharpening, NR, and clarity.

Comments welcome.

It is full moon tonight, plus a bonus with Jupiter near the moon.
I went out to the neighborhood for a few shots of these two objects in the sky.
5D3, 70-200 ISO II with 2xII, shot at about 400mm, f/10, 3/10sec., showed Jupiter ok cropped to about 20%. Jupiter's moons can be seen! Really exciting. However, I can seem to get cyclone eye on jupiter's surface. Just don't have the reach, perhaps GAS can help. Also, there was quite a bit of wind shaking the camera/lens assembly so can get very crisp image.
I can get both Jupiter and our moon in the same frame, but the moon is terribly over exposed.
Perhaps I can interest someone with better experience to shoot much better images (than I) and post here.

On a weeks vacation in Cyprus. Finally got around to stacking a Kenko 3xTC hand held with IS on to 300 2.8L IS II with 2xiii extender and 7d mark ii, 3x more TC than the previous post. It was a heroic act hand holding and using live view. This was the best of 6 shots before I gave up.

Finally a clear night and some spare time. First is 6D with Tamron 150-600, second is M with Tamron 150-600. Both at 600mm with same camera settings. These are 100% crops with lens profile applied in LR, but no other adjustments.

Tried my hand at some moon pictures tonight, with a clear night and a nice phase. I think the M3 is a pretty good camera for that purpose, it puts a lot of pixels on the moon.

M3, Tamron 150-600mm VC @600mm, f/8, 1/200s, ISO 640.

(Interestingly the EXIF reports a focal length of 50mm ... I guess it's another instance of the M3 not playing nice with a Tamron lens.)
