Title: Lunar widefield timelapse experiment
Post by: Kenny on May 13, 2016, 01:28:31
A series of Moon set shots combined including a long exposure of the foreground before the Moon arrived in frame. A bit of an experiment in that I wasn't sure how large the Moon would appear in the stack (not big enough - my 50mm lens may have worked better) plus there was cloud obscuring some shots so the 5 minute interval with cloud meant the photo only shows images from a 10 minute interval. I also could have done with shifting the camera frame left to pick up the Moon earlier and more centrally.

Canon 450D DSLR with Sigma DC 18-200mm lens at 24mm. ISO1600, f/11, 1/250th sec for the Moon and 15 sec for the foreground.
