Photographers! What camera/lens can take this kind of photo? [PIC] - GoFuckYourself.com

Vick! · 11-02-2008, 04:37 PM

I know next to nothing about photography. My question is what kind of camera and with what lens we can take a shot of this kind and other long distance natural scenes?

Thanks in advance.

PS. Thank me for your new desktop wallpaper.

Heh, its takes photoshop to make that kind of image.

I have shot similar moon images with a 300mm/2.8 + 1.7TC on a D300 + tripod, but the hill/tree is definitely pasted in Photoshop.

mikesouth · 11-02-2008, 08:27 PM

If you have to ask what kind of camera took that pic you could never take that pic with any kind of camera.

Peter Romero · 11-02-2008, 09:23 PM

I think the question you are asking is: "How do I take this type of a picture of the moon?"

Close 1 eye = reduce perspective to 1 dimensional view...

Do a "Thumbs Up" in front of you.

Move your thumb closer or farther away to see how diferent it looks to your whole range of vision.

Now go out an buy a $1500-$5000 Digital SLR or Film (LOL) SLR. (SLR = Single Lens Reflex)

Buy or rent a 500MM or more telephoto lens or get a telescope with a bayonet camera mount.

Go find a hill with a tree on top of it and stand below it with the moon in the background.

Do a spot light meter reading to the moon. Set the camera setting to Manual and use those settings for the F-stop and shutter speed.

Take a picture and frame it on your wall so your friends think you are an artist and not a peeping tom and put it next to your telescope pointed out the window.

Or photoshop 2 images sandwiched together.

Or buy a house on top of a hill overlooking the city and spend alot of time doing trial and error shoots of whatever and have fun with it. I do...

F-U-Jimmy · 11-03-2008, 12:50 AM

I shoot this image of the moon with a 60,000mm xxxtvclair lens. proving the face you see on the moon is not a man but a woman

viencarl · 11-03-2008, 04:21 AM

lol nice pix

JP-pornshooter · 11-03-2008, 11:57 AM

you'd need more than a 200mm lens to get that close up..
i took this one in 2006 of the lunar eclipse using a 80-200 nikon lens on a tripod and a remote trigger, perhaps with a 500mm you could get a decent size image of the moon.

Vick! · 11-03-2008, 02:02 PM

It wasn't about tree, I was mainly asking about taking this clear pic of moon.

That's relatively easy then, long (telephoto) lens and a decent sensor.

I took shots of the moon with a 200mm lens and a 16 megapixel camera and the actual area the moon covers is only about 150 pixels tall. You need a LONG lens to fill the frame.

(I have a 350D I bought as a secondary body... can barely hold it comfortably in my hand, let alone balance it with a large lens on it.

yeah, for sure. i didnt find anything better on google and just wanted to show a general example. there are surely better cams and lenses for this, but it's a start.
