Moon at Perigee
Key: R20120505-203441-v1
Taken from Hilo, Hawaii
Panasonic GH1, 100-300mm at 300mm, f5.6
Had a pretty good view of the perigee moon tonight from the back yard. This was taken around 9pm.
Adjusted for micro-contrast and mild sharpening. The 100-300 is equivalent to a 200-600 on a full-frame camera.
Might have actually gotten a little sharper of an image if I had turned image stabilization off, since I had the camera on a tripod. Didn’t think of it at the time.

Even with the stabilization on, it turned out pretty nice. I just bought a 70-300 Nikkor lens to replace my old, non-stabilized lens – I just hope I can remember to turn mine off anytime I use a tripod.
Thanks, John. I was pretty surprised myself how nicely it turned out. I wasn’t expecting much, honestly.
