Moon Moon

When I looked out of the window yesterday tonight, I saw a beautiful scene.. Mr Moon is so bright and round... Hence I cannot resist but to bring out my cameras and took few snapshots.. The pictures are not perfect but consider okie lah :)
Taken with my DSLR camera Canon EOS 350D (Sigma 18-200mm lens), using manual mode. (f/16, 1/15 s, ISO 1600)

Taken with my DSLR camera Canon EOS 350D (Sigma 18-200mm lens), using manual mode. (f/25, 1/200 s, ISO 1600)

Taken with my Prosumer camera Canon S5IS (with optical zoom 12x), using manual mode but different settings (f/4, 1/125 s, ISO 800).Both photos were taken without using tripod, but I supported my arms on the windows for stabilization...

And I can vaguely heard someone singing Theresa Teng's 月亮代表我的心 (The Moon Represent My Heart)... Nope, I'm not hallucinating :P

No Star cos the star are being threw by many already.. Hence tarak bintang left in the sky :P

You have very steady hands, lady! Nice, nice. Sigma lens with OS?

Chen said...

fibrate,
Not 100% steady lah :P
It's challenging to take night shots..

Yeah, mine is with, OS which helps..
and the lens is more heavier than the one without OS (which weighs 600g+, which is 200g+ heavier than the lens without OS)
But taking night shot is still challenging despite with OS, hence have to take few shots as not all the shots will turn up well :)

moz monster said...

Wah !!!! Sigma 18-200 OS !!! Since when did you buy so many new lenses ??

OS helps up to around 3-4 stops of light. It doesn't make it possible to eliminate blurring at night, but it helps you somewhat. There is also a limit to the blurring it can tolerate.

Whoa.. many wonders with dSLR.. all the more of convincing me to get one.

Pink Cotton said...

yerrr so round so hot!!!!!!

Chen said...

moz,
i received the lens end of March but didn't use it for quite a while cos of the heartbreaking event that happened at that time...

I just started using the lens recently after buying it for almost 2 months..

cocka,
Piak your moon ah..
or I can ask Ah Boy to bite your shinning moon too !!
LOL

LB,
Wah, LB very happy today :D
*Yum Sengggggggggg*

Chen said...

keeyit,
That's great.
That means the moon is the same everywhere (Referring to the famous chinese quote regarding "The Moon Oversea is Rounder") :P
LOL

lynnx,
Hehehe, dSLR definitely can produce better picture than the compact point & shoot camera. However, it is a very expensive hobby. The camera itself is not that expensive but the lenses and other accessories are expensive. And most of the lenses cost few thousand bucks!!

pink cotton,
cute leh the Moon...
reminds me of the round "Moon Face" :P
