    Thumbs up Moon Halo - Nov 2012 in Cornwall

    Just took a call from an excited RoadKillPhil who spotted a stunning Moon Halo hovering above my house, pictures never really do this sort of thing justice and it's not got photography but working with what I had (no Tripod ).

    I did use a 150 to 500 mm lens tho with the crop factor it makes it a 750mm lens
    Cheers Bri

    edit anything bellow 1/60 s will show slight blurring of the moon ? I think as it is moving so fast
    if you click on the pic to enlarge it you can see how much the moon has moved by the double edge .

    That's cool, thanks for sharing that. I do love photography but never really delve into it deep enough to learn it all, this will probably sound stupid but how do you focus in such a situation: it's really dark, the object is far away (so you can't temporarily shine a light on it), you haven't got a zoom lens to get an up-close image of the object in the view-finder... I've had this problem trying some night-time landscapes... but then you can change the depth of focus with the aperture can't you - that's something I don't play with enough... off experimenting.

    sometimes resting on my coat or on a tree branch tis a good lens for the price.Click image for larger version.
