Hi Folks, Despite the rest of the UK being affected by storms and other foul weather, here, in the N.E. Scotland, it is a fine evening and the moon is full. I have taken the opportunity to bring out the 300 f/2.8 along with the EOS 3 to attempt some better shots than my last efforts.
Setup - EOS 3, 300 f/2.8, 1.4x & 2x ext. and 12mm ext tube (all Canon), tripod for the lens and a monopod for the body. I tried all the various combinations and a range of apertures and all shots were taken with MLU and a remote release on Sensia 400. A couple of questions I need to ask.... 1. What is the effective focal length of the 1.4x + 12mm + 2x + 300? I know I have 840 (300*1.4*2) but does the 12mm tube make any increase here? 2. I have read that a good moon shot should be taken with at least a 300mm @ 1/250 & f/8 with 100 ISO film, is this correct and what difference will the film I used make (Sensia 400)? Many Thanks for indulging me.
