It's a full moon last night. I captured almost midnight with clear sky.
It's my first experience capturing the moon.
Camera setup is f/16 with speed 1/50, ISO 100 and tripod plus cable release.
Crop, contrast, increase sharpness, add frame and resize.

This afternoon is expected a total lunar eclipse in Indonesia, around 17:36; but the moon can only be seen from 17:51 from west part of Indonesia which I live at the moment.
The other problem: weather is not compromising at all. Clouds are everywhere.

I am going to the roof of office building which I am working at around 17:30, and wishing to get clearer sky at the East.

Thank you for viewing it. And please help me to pray for clearer weather.

Cheers,
Tjutjut

Hello my friend

Superb capture here and excellent framing too. That lens you have is perfect for the job. I do wish you luck with the weather conditions later, it can be so irritating when things dont go the way planned especially on such occassions as these.

Hope you are keeping well my friend

Kind regards Helen

Hi Hi Tjutjut,

Fantástica captura, yo intento hacer una foto a la luna y no hay manera, me sale bastante mal, la utilizo con un objetivo de 75/300mm y me sale bastante borrosa. Esta noche volveré a probar utilizando estos parámetros: f/16 with speed 1/50, ISO 100.

A ver si tengo suerte. Muy buen trabajo

Saludos,

Pako

Excellent Tjutjut. I have just been ouside observing the eclipse. Unfortunately my camera is no good for these shots. Well done and TFS,
David

Hi Tjutjut,
Great grey colours and details on the surface of Moon, all colours here fit good together.
Cheers:)

Hi Mas Tjutjut, capturing the moon ? Hmm ... I wish I could do one for myself. I like the way you frame it and nice cropping. I did a WS as I feel the photo needs a little bit enhancement in contrast and sharpening.

Teh weather today is good and clear, I pray for you to get nice lunar eclipse.

Here is to clear skies :) Tjutjut
I am always amazed to see a moon shot.. Yours is as amazing as any other.. Not an easy task ;)

mas tjutjut...
bagus photonya... tapi aku mau critique ya dikit....
photo anda yang ini bagus untuk focus dan detailnya. POV juga sangat menarik tapi jika kita lihat bulan... pasti dipinggir bulan itu akan sedikit menunjukan cahaya lebih terang yang disebut dengan ring of moon. nah itu yang tidakanda dapatkan, kalau saya liat... itu dikarenakan F anda yang terlalu kecil (16) dan speed yang masih terlalu cepat (1/50)
untuk F/16 maka bulan akan terlihat redup dan Hellos pada pinggir bulan pun tak tampak, tapi andaikan anda pakai F/taklebih dari 11dan speed dibawah 1/50 sudah pasti anda akan dapatkan hellos dan ring of moon lebih jelas dan dimensi bulan akan lebih baik. lain kali kalau photo bulan coba pakai filter UV L37C / natural Colors filter ya.... biar warnanya juga sama seperti warna kalau kita liat bulannya langsung... :)
thx mas.

Haldian

Hi Tjutjut

A marvellous zoom shot of the moon with superb clarity & sharpness. I like also the tonal range & light contrast. Nice frame. Indah sekali.

Hi Tjutjut :o)
Nice moon ! For your first attempt, it's good ! I would never do so well. For today, i pray you are careful on the roof :o) Don't take risk for a shot, ok ;o)
Have a nice day
Marylou

Salam Tjutjut

Saya selalu mencuba untuk mengambil image bulan sebegini tetapi gagal... tetapi kamu melakukannya dengan hebat sekali...

To bad about the clouds - but you were able to put the big lens to good use - B&W works very well.

Thanks as usual for the visit.
