  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

I've been doing a lot of Moon shooting lately. Getting some amazing shots but always room for improvement...
Mainly shooting time-lapse at 1-12fps with a shutter anywhere under 1/100th..
Using ND where needed.
Shooting on Red Scarlet with 70-200mm with a 2x extender.
Shooting mainly in 3kHD for the added reach..

Questions
I want to try out one of those trackers as it moves too quick. Any recommendations on something to suit Red?

The images appear to be a tad soft, i'm putting that down to the 2x extender?? Or possibly Sydney pollution?

i'm hoping to get the canon 200-400mm when it arrives in Australia also.. Anyone else have a favourite lens for Moon shots?


Shooting in 4k or 5k compared to 3k wouldn't affect image quality if i'm finishing in 1920x 1080 anyway? Do those extra pixels help? I'm sure that question has been asked many times so once more won't hurt ;)

Thanks heaps for your coming replies
