Yesterday, there was no blood moon in Asia. So, I tried my first moon shot.

Your comments are appreciated as always.

Binnur,

Thx. I just learned that EXP is at least -2.3 with my new lens.

Isabel,

My camera is Nikon D7000 & I just bought a Tamron 18mm – 270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD. So, effectively it should be 405mm.

f/13, 1/60s, ISO 100, EXP -4.3

I've never made a moon shot or studied moon shots, so for this layman it seems to be a terrific start!

If you want the sky to be darker, which I think would make the photo stronger, raise the black point. Also consider adding some Local Contrast Enhancement to the moon to bring out more detail. On my calibrated and profiled monitor, the moon looks just a little green, so you might want to tweak the color balance.

Mike,

Thanks for your very helpful advice. Yes, it is a little green.
