Having only just started shooting in RAW, I have noticed on some threads that people save as TIFF file and then appear to do something else with the results. I have been saving to JPEG thinking I have reached the end. Am I missing something. I have so far been amazed what can be acheived by my stumbling efforts with Silkypix and hope to get better as time goes by.

Super composition. The colours are fascinating. The red is caused by sunlight being refracted through the earths atmosphere onto the moon.

Clouds will do that, especially when you don't want them. But if you want a nice thin covering of cloud for some outside portraits............not one to be seen!

Let's have a little sub-competition of eclipse shots from tonights event. I'm only putting this forward 'cos it's cloudy here and I won't get to see it
Maybe all you Canadians stand the best chance. At least you won't miss any sleep to see it!

Nice, but could it do with straightening up a touch?

For full or part moon I use ISO 200 and the shutter speed can be quite fast, on a full moon as high as 500th, but I use mirror lock up which makes a BIG difference even with high shutter speeds. Don't worry if it looks a little under exposed, you can correct after. I am stuck with f8 on my Tamron 500mm mirror.

Go for about 800 and check. You will have plenty of time to change ISO and try again. You don't need a high Iso until totallity any way as the moon is very bright. You may have to use HDR to get a good shot during the partial phase. Or take two different exposures and cut and paste the two correctley exposed bits together.

Right now, after nearly 2 weeks of crystal skies we have clouds in Shropshire. God sure does have a good sense of humour
