Full Moon december 2009

Taken this tuesday with my new Canon 70-200 L F4 IS lens
In the winter months it’s hard to catch the full moon due to the weather – but was lucky this month ^^

Return of the mack- um moon

Just took this from my balcony, handshot – too lazy to bring out the tripod. I love the VC on my Tamron lens. Could never take this without stabilizer. 

Man, I used to hate that Mark Morrison song: return of the mack!  but now I smile when I hear it, remembering good times. This song dates back to 1996! o_O

Full Moon – hit and a miss

According to my lunar calendar it was full moon yesteryday,

but I missed it! (I was totally exhausted and fell asleep at 9pm – that must be a record of somesort!)
I did wake up at 6am though. So I was somewhat upset because full moon is only once a month,
and then you need to be lucky with the weather.

Photo taken Sunday around 4am: (around an hour ago)

 

Now you may wonder why I’m awake at 4am? Well I just came back from a pokernight.
We usually play every 2 weeks, I haven’t played in months and since I’m going on trip next week I thought I’d stop by. 

Anyway, hopefully I’ll be able to shoot the moon on the other side of the globe next month :)

Stop, mellon time!

F10, 1/50, 270mm, Manual, ISO 200

It’s that time of the month again, still haven’t taken the perfect moonshot yet.
But this is definitely the best I’ve taken so far, with my new Tamron 18-270 superzoomlens.

Sadly I haven’t had time to take this baby outside on a sunny day, so far I’m really
enjoying the reach and the VC (Tamrons Stabilizer). But then they say it’s never enough: I would love to get my hands on a telescope someday. Or at least a converter + 400mm :)

Moon IV

F10, 1/60, 200mm, ISO 100

Full moon shot taken yesterday, turned out ok-ish, but not tack sharp.
This the best I can do for without tripod. I’ll be saving up for lens with a better
reach. I now pretty much decided to get a superzoom, mainly because I’m going
on trip to HK soon. Why? because I won’t have to change lenses all the time.
