Helpful Posts: I mentioned in one of Trevor's posts that I had a go at photographing a nice ring around the moon caused by some thin cloud and only ended up with 3 keepers from 70 shots. Well this is one of the better images after a little bit of editing.
7D with Canon 70-200 lens 1/13 F6.3 Iso 400 obviously on a tripod, also shutter lock up.
You have to get the right thickness and density of cloud, then find acceptable camera settings.

Re: Ring around the moon
Very nice, although I think I would crop it a bit.

Re: Ring around the moon
Nice work, Geoff. Your image recalls lines from "The Highwayman": "The moon was a ghostly galleon, tossed upon cloudy seas..."
