It’s time to see what the D810 can do with the 36 megapixels on offer with a nice big full moon hanging there in the sky! I had fun playing with the settings to see what effects I liked best for the next time that atmospheric lensing provides us a supermoon.
All of these were shot with the 300mm f/4 lens and the 2X teleconverter which on the D810 full-frame (FX) sensor is effectively 600mm at f/8.
On the D7000 DX cropped sensor, this lens/teleconverter combo would be shooting effectively at 900mm at f/8 and would be the preferred camera for shooting the supermoon…even at 16MP, I’d still be getting better detail with the longer focal length and smaller pixels of the DX sensor.
I love having choices… 🙂
