Full Moon Friday

Last week on Friday, as I made my way home from Uni, I saw the moon and I was enamoured.

I just couldn’t wait to get home and try and capture it in its full glory (pun intended).

After looking and failing to find my tripod release plate (pretty useless without it), I just made due with the window sill, using a very unstable joby tripod, my very heavy 7D with 70-300mm lens at the end of it and an intervalometer I just acquired. Did I mention that it was cold and windy?

Well…after struggling to balance the equipment, I got my final shot. It’s not brilliant, but I am pretty pleased with myself.

Canon 7D with Sigma APO 70-300mm F4-5.6 DG MACRO lens.
Exposure: 1/4 at f/5.6 (ISO 100) Focal length: 300mm
Post production: Lightroom 4 (from RAW)

The fast moving clouds gives it some oohhmmff! Don’t you think?
