 I have been trying to get some moon shots, but they all come out with a halo around the moon. I did not try with a neutral density filter yet, because I got one after the moon went dark. Will this help to keep the details and cut out the halo? This shot I had to really do alot of editing to try to hide the halo. Any comments will be traded back to you with your portfolio. (Comment for comment) Might take a few days, though. |

moon shots aren't that difficult. It's trying to get moon AND stars and foreground that is beyond the ability of the technology.
Your moon is VERY over exposed, because you had a long shutter time to get the tree and stars.
A moon shot on the other hand starts with an exposure something like this... f/11 shuuter speed = ISO. So, you shoot at f/11 at 1/125 if you are using 100 ISO.
EDIT: ofcourse you'll want to bracket around this beginning setting.
The only way you can get proper exposure of the moon on your shot is to compose it of two different shots. There's a thread around here somewhere about it.

I tried this and it work well. - Set your camera to manual, go to an f stop of 14, iso 100, and shutter to 100/sec. Look at the result, you may have to lower or increase you exposure time. I took about 20 shoots to get the result posted. Unfortunatly that is an edit of two pic's, but it shows my moon shoot well. Hope this help's: :) |
