Thanks Anil....Yes it was shot wide open at f/1.4...As this one was.Nice images Barry, you're on a roll The background seems just a tad busy in this image for me. On the other hand, I do like the mystery of the woods that are not quite fully blurry though, so you might lose that if you were fully wide open?
Excellent Annna, you always present Valère et Tourbillon, Sion in so many different ways :thumbup:Shot yesterday and it is about the first time that I can get the moon right (almost right since the long exposure makes the crescent bigger than it was), but the Sony files have an incredible dynamical range. The file type was set to uncompressed raws. The camera/captor did even see the unlighted part of the moon, which isn't visible with naked eyes. I'm still impressed. I kept the aperture at F6.3 because I wanted to get the moon sharp too. I kept the ISO at 200 in order to get the max DR. But I may try with a higher ISO and a larger aperture in order to get shorter exposure times. That is : if the clouds go away this night.

Hi Anna, nice capture. I am no expert on this, but maybe you could try a higher ISO to get a shorter shutter speed. I know you probably need the smaller aperture for DOF. The stars in your photo are already starting to show trails, I believe the longer the focal length, the shorter the shutter speed needs to be to prevent this. Perhaps ISO600 or 800 with a 10-15 second exposure may work better.Shot yesterday and it is about the first time that I can get the moon right (almost right since the long exposure makes the crescent bigger than it was), but the Sony files have an incredible dynamical range.
