A practice shot of the moon.
I'm trying to get ready for the eclipse that's coming up. Supposedly the exposure settings you need for a good shot of a full moon will work for a total eclipse.
My setup is a little bit janky: it's a 400mm Sigma telephoto lens intended for a Minolta 35mm SLR mounted to a Nikon DSLR adapter mounted to a Nikon D3000 DSLR, which has a partial frame sensor.
No stacking or tracking, but I did use a tripod. These were the settings: 1/320 shutter, medium aperture on the adapter, ISO 400. Is used auto adjust in post mainly to help with brightness. The unedited shot was kind of dim, but there was less detail with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed.
Very nice!
