The Dragon Wins..... by nicolaeastwood

The Dragon Wins.....

...sometimes it feels like it!

Tonight is bright and clear - I have lots of moon shots, all of them fuzzy. I have tried everything you lovely people have told me to do......two second delay on the shutter, even ten second delay in case my tripod was wobbly, changed iso, kept the speed to 1/125 made it faster made it slower, increased and decreased the aperture........auto focus, manual focus. Grrrrrrr, and I was SOOOO hoping to crack it in time for the full moon! Is it likely that my Canon 450D + Tamron 70-300mm isn't up to the job or is it user error?!

Moon 2 Nicola 0!

(okay and I know the Rex from Toy Story isn't really a dragon......but.....!)

Other shot for the day
Ha, ha, I love it. The dragon seems to have the most advantage though.

I get frustrated with moon shots. Forgive me if this is too obvious, but did you turn off any image stabilisation as you were using a tripod?
