I wouldn't use ISO 800 for that shot. It would ruin it. I like the silhouette of the foreground.

I really do think he was talking about night shoots with lots of light because if not - then im....
When I shoot into the sun I usually have to move to the lowest ISO (100) and go down about 4-5 stops so I can get into 1/2000 range - like that I have flexibility to underexpose or over expose if i feel like it. If I have ISO 800 forget about it .. all the pictures would be trashed!

good call on the 1/2000. i didnt think about that when i was out there. i am still in my first month of doing this.
lol - I'm sitting here telling you and I'll probably forget when I'm out there in that scenario .. It never fails man!
Can't count the times I have come back and looked at my pictures and said wth - I forgot to do what? lmao ..
Mind you I'm on my second entering 3rd month .. lmao .. So I'm still a noob!
You know it .. LoL .. I hope you didn't take offense my dude - you know how we do!Originally Posted by i just got lucky

quick question. i just got my 50mm f/1.8 lens in for my d60 and i read that the aperture ring has to be locked on 22, is there a reason why?
and on a sidenote i need to get used to taking a step or two back when taking pictures with this lens.
my fav pic of the ones you posted, i like the subject and the perspective and the lighting. good +!@$Originally Posted by rizobs

as always great shot but i have a question not just to you but to all my fellow photo people..
i had my camera set up on the tripod, 200mm, played with the exposure and everything, even had the remote for the shutter as to avoid vibration, and my moonpics still come out as just a blurry ball of light? what am i doing wrong? when i look through the viewfinder it looks good but after i take it, not so good..advice please? thank you in advance

Nope, at least on DSLRs, you always have to do it.Originally Posted by FlyingEMU05

dunno what that means. is it only on select cameras that the aperture ring has to be locked on 22?

You're probably just overexposing the image - the moon is brighter than you'd think and if you have your metering set so it averages thewhole scene (the rest of it being the night sky) then it will let too much light in.
So, either reduce the aperture or decrease the exposure time - and maybe try changing your metering to spot and meter straight off the moon.
Once again, you are making your own assumptions. I don't think no one here ever said that you can't take good/great pictures with entrylevel DSLR.Originally Posted by yarrh
BayEST you take some dope pics. You're proof that high end equipment don't mean *++#
