The moon moves quite quickly, so a shutter speed maybe of 1/125 sec could be needed. However, the moon is also very bright, which shouldn't be a problem.

Unless the moon almost fills the frame then some exposure compensation will be needed as the camera will try to lighten all the black sky that surrounds it. This will over-expose the moon.

Alternatively, a spot measurement of the moon may help, adding 1 stop to make sure it doesn't end up grey!

Other than that a very sturdy tripod will be essential. And a very long lens!

thoramay, are you offering this lens for sale?

Yes, it's an old lens, but perfectly useable for general subjects.

It's a lens abberation possibly made worse by atmospheric pollution.

The lens you are using was not designed for digital imaging and although a respectable performer it may show its heritage under extreme conditions such as the one presented here.

There is a problem with the software somewhere, but iy doesn't seem easy to correct.

My best suggestion is to edit your photo after uploading and change the EXIF details manually.

Better still, save in Save For Web and no details will be there in the first place. Then you can use Edit to add them in. That's what I do.

Nice shots, the rainbow is terrific.

There are instructions at the top of the Your Photos section.

Photobucket seems to be the most painless option.

www.photobucket.com

Upload your image to there, making sure it is no longer than 800 pixels on the longest side and that it's a reasonable file size (200K - 400K is ideal)

Copy the link for forums (the option at the bottom of the list that appears if you run your cursor over the image in your album) and paste the link into your message on this forum.

It's OK guys, Samsung DSLR Users don't have to be unobtrusive!

Well met, and be welcome!

The slide is the finished product usually, so what you take is what you get. All the adjustment is done in advance, in terms of composition, use of filters, choice of film, etc.

With digital the adjustment is done mainly after the image is shot, as we are now quite familiar with.

So I don't really think you can compare fairly one or the other by excluding the processing stage for that option.

It's very curious that everyone seems to be getting different quantities of the Newsletter. It will be interesting to find out how that's possible!
