4th January 2015....The Moon....

The snow has disappeared from the mountains for the time being but the clear cold nights have given me the chance to start a bit of night photography, not having taken any moon or star trail shots befoer its going to be a steep learning curve........so here goes....

 From the  back garden...well you've got to start somewhere.!!
Canon 6d  :  200mm plus 2x convertor 
ISO 100  :  f6.3  :  1/320
ISO 100  :  f5.6  :  1/250


Lessons learned tonight ....
1.    The moon moves very fast, so make sure you check the view finder before pressing the shutter.
2.    Use spot metering, it's very bright compared to the rest of the sky....doh...
3.    Use the biggest lens you've got and then some..
