ako rin walang 400mm lens.. pero I tried to take a few shots of the moon this past 3 days kasi "Blue Moon" daw this end of year
This is taken 6:30pm last December 31, 2009.. I used my regular 28-200mm zoom lens (shutter: 1/50", aperture: F36, ISO: 400)
The supposed "Blue Moon" on 7pm January 1, 2010.. (shutter: 1/20", aperture: F11, ISO: 2000)
I noticed another lunar show this 8pm January 2, 2010.. (shutter: 1/15", aperture: F22, ISO: 320)
A blue moon is a full moon that is not timed to the regular monthly pattern. Most years have twelve full moons which occur approximately monthly, but in addition to those twelve full lunar cycles, each solar calendar year contains an excess of roughly eleven days compared to the lunar year. The extra days accumulate, so every two or three years (7 times in the 19-year Metonic cycle), there is an extra full moon. The extra moon is called a "blue moon." -- from wikipedia
