I have not taken a shot of the moon in a lot of years.
Looked out the back door and there was a half or close to it moon.
So now I just have to work out the edit on them and maybe next time get the tripod out.

3 days ago, waxing, almost full, probably my sharpest moon-shot to date:

• E 70-300mm F4.5-6.3 A047
• 300.0 mm
• ƒ/6.3000001907349
• 1/500 sec
• ISO 250

Tonight's full moon... meh? hard to nail manual focus with the A6700's low resolution screen and viewfinder, so I think its not as sharp as it could be due to focus:

• E 70-300mm F4.5-6.3 A047
• 300.0 mm
• ƒ/6.3000001907349
• 1/500 sec
• ISO 100

I'm also starting to think that full moons are overrated: it looks flat and featureless compared to a few days ago.

Do you find focus magnify to be of any help?

Super shots!

Super shots!

focus magnify and focus peaking are absolute necessities! Without them, these moon shots would be glowing orbs of unfocused light
