Thanks Rob, very helpful with me trying the moon shot using em5.3 plus 75-300mm
Nice to see someone else doing Astrophotography with an E-M10 Mkii
In the right hands, it's as capable as any camera! I've seen people get some amazing deep sky shots with it. Thanks.
Hi Rob, "It's daylight on the moon!"
I wonder what the exposure would be if we were on the moon?
excellent tutorial, very simple and clear. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
You make all things simple! Thx, was a clear explanation!!!
Glad it helped!
Excellent video as usual..I found myself holding my breath as you pushed the shutter!
Glad you enjoyed it
Very good instruction, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi, I'm Spanish, maybe my English is not very good. I have seen almost all of your videos and I have to thank you for taking the time to do this kind of tutorial and explain everything so well. Normally for people who have olympus omd 10 mark 2 there are hardly any tutorials.
I just wanted to write to thank you and continue giving you encouragement to continue creating videos, thanks to you I have learned a lot and every day I have more desire to take pictures.
I hope your channel continues to grow because you deserve it. Your content is of great quality.
A greeting from Spain
Thank you! Your english is fine.
Hola Francisco, yo también soy español y no tengo ni idea de ingles.
podrías explicarme como hacer la fotografía a la luna?
Saludos.
Yes I shoot yesterday my first good moon shot, thanks so much
Glad to hear. Thanks for letting me know.
Thanks. Tested this on a spotlight. Worked great. Waiting for a clear night and moon!
Glad it helped!
Thanks Rob. Used same camera/lens and your settings and got great results, after getting horrible photos with my own trial and error.
Glad to help. Easy when you know how.
I tried this out, excellent results. thanks Rob.
Great to hear!
Great. Thanks
Welcome 😊
I just took a moon photo tonight as what you taught in the video, use the same lens, 40-150 f4-5.6 with em10 mkii. Satisfy with the photo. Many thanks Rob.
Great! Thanks for letting me know.
This really helped me a lot thank you! It was so helpful being able to see the screen and all the things you were changing. Thanks again! ^^
Glad it helped!
Great tips , thanks so much.
You are so welcome!
Im sure have tried stacking the moon image...it is a cool way to look at the detail of the moon...
Yes, stacking can get great results! I've done it a few times, more of an academic exercise, but still very cool!
Thank you, i will try next time im wake at night.
Your welcome!
Sun + moon = soon
Hi Rob. I am interesting how about attach em10 on a telescop , maybe experimental
At the risk of sounding dumb and certainly going off at a tangent here - I'd love to see a short video on cleaning and care for the Olympus E-M10-II Rob.
I'm no good at cleaning. My cameras are so dirty! For the body, I use a keyboard vacuum, q-tips, and soft toothbrush to clean with some rubbing alcohol. Lenses are delicate and should only use q-tips, distilled water.
@@RobTrek Ha! Thanks Rob :)
Woke up early and saw a clear bright moon and thought, why not take a picture. All mine were blurred white. So I thought, bet Rob has done a moon upload. Found this one and much better, I can see details now. Nothing like your shot but I know with a bit more messing around and not doing it through double glazing I would get better shots. Hard with a prime lens.
Glad you found my video and it helped!
nice tutorial Rob. I usually prefer P mode to shoot the moon handheld, leave the aperture to the max of the 14-150mm ii lens f5.6. Doing tests with A mode from f5.6 to f8 didn't notice any change in sharpness (E-M10 v1). I leave a 2s delay too, so I can hold the camera with two hands and not add any shaking while pressing the shutter button. Also tried adding the TCON-17x using a 55-58mm step-up ring and that worked out pretty well
The 2s delay is a great idea. Thanks.
New photographer here! While taking the trash out a bit ago I was admiring the moon and bemoaning the fact that I hadn’t been able to capture it adequately with my Olympus E-PL8, but after a quick google search let me to your excellent video, here I am 20 minutes later with some very decent photos of our friend Luna. Thanks a million sir!
Just did this with my 14-150mm and it came out amazingly well! You made it so easy!! Thanks!
Great to hear!
Oh Mr Rob! I love you so much! This is such a fabulous tutorial! I had such a hissy fit last night trying to photograph the moon...so I will watch this again later and try again tonight. You really are a fabulous teacher! Thank you SO much!
I forgot to mention the moon tutorial, AWESOME. Thank you, Neil.
Glad to help!
Hi Rob
Without your videos I would be lost with my OMD EM 10ii. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You explain everything so easily and clearly.
Thanks again.
Thanks!
Rob, I am so glad I found your TH-cam tutorials. I was given a E-M10 ii as a gift a couple of years ago, but had only used it on full auto and didn't use it very much at that. Since finding your entries I have started really learning the camera and am really, really liking it. Your calm, clear presentation style and being able to see the view screen as you go through the settings is brilliant. Thanks again for all you are doing. I haven't watched them all yet but am working on it diligently.
Thanks. Glad to help! Please don't hesitate to ask me anything. Catch my live streams too.
I've been photographing the full moon over and over again for years. I get the best results in manual mode. I don't think fixating on A-mode is the best method in this case.
Manual mode is best!
I just bought the 40-150mm because of you. For the price... great
Yes, great lens!
Thanks Rob. your instructions were so easy to follow and I was able to go out and take shots straight away.
Thank you!
Awesome video! Any tips on shooting the galaxy/milky way? :)
Thanks. Check out the Narrowband Channel. Ben is really responsive to comments on his videos. He also uses Olympus. th-cam.com/users/TheNarrowbandChannelfeatured
Your settings that achieves a fast enough shutter speed to go hand held at f8. And focal length sweet spots, great stuff Rob thanks a lot.
Thanks!
Thanks for taking the time to show a simple moon shots. I am EM-1mark II shooter and your videos transfer well to the entire Olympus platform. Your videos are very simple and down to earth and helpful to people who have been shooting for years or the novice shooters. Keep the videos coming!
Thank you!
i am from Egypt and i happy to your videos go on and thanks you so much
Thank you!
Great video as usual Rob, no other tutorials out there that compete with your concise explanation of every step and why you make that particular choice of setting. You’d make a great teacher, thanks for taking the time to put these up, cheers from the UK.
Thank you!
Excellent tutorial. Very timely upload, for its full moon nowadays.
Thanks!
Great hands on demo Rob...! Best way for us to learn.
Thanks!
Does anyone know how to scale an image past 150 in lightroom?
Thanks Rob, love the help you give us!
Co-incidentally I was out trying a few moon shots last night [with poor results]. And then this was shared to a FB user group on the subject. Perfect timing! Thanks so much!
Thanks for watching!
Shooting the moon without a tripod with a 300(600mm)! I would at least anchor against a wall or a tree...Amazing results nevertheless...Thanks for the pointers.
Thanks. Yes, a tripod would be best, but I was getting decent shutter speeds.
thank you very much rob !
Thanks for watching!
Thank you soo much 🤗
Thanks for watching!
Probably one of the best photography youtubers in here. Really appreciate what you do and I learn a lot when I bought my OM10 Mark II.
Thanks. Very kind of you to say.
Thanks Rob for your work and dedication. Without your tutorials i wouldnt take control on my M10 and i can learn about it. Greetings from Madrid , Spain!
Thanks for watching!
I just use manual mode and adjust shutter speed until the histogram looks good. Seems to be a lot less guessing that way. I suspect you needed less compensation on long lens because the spot metering picked up less of the surrounding dark area.
That works too!
Thanks, good video, easy to follow tips
Thanks!
Very nice video and info Thanks
Thank you!
Excellent video, thank you very mutch. A greeting from Lugano
Thanks!
Thanks Rob, for another great video. We have a full moon this weekend and I wanted to practice beforehand, and it worked! As a beginner, success is such a good feeling!
Glad this helped! Most photography is not hard once you know how. That's what I try to do.
Another great video!!! Thanks!!! Putting the fun into Funtography!!!
Thank you.
Many thanks for explaining so clearly...great video, much appreciated 👍
Thanks!
Yes, you are an amazing teacher for this camera. I just keep learning something new each time I watch one of your videos! thank you Rob. I will be trying this the next full moon.
Thank you! Many have tried this and are getting great results. Be sure to post on instagram!
Great video Rob, and timely too as I have been shooting a lot of night photos lately. Thanks
Thank you.
Thanks so much for the video. Used the settings and tips here to get me started on photographing the super blood moon last night. Happy with the results I got from the 14-150 kit.
Great to hear!
Just about to buy this camera. Your videos are the best out there. Thanks so much.
Thank you!
Another fantastic tutorial, thank you Rob!
Thanks for watching!
Hello from New York City! Does the EM10 mark 2 support remote shutter release and how to do it? Thank you for informative video. Have a good weekend.
Yes, through the USB port. Pixco makes both wired and wireless remotes for the E-M10ii.
Thanks Rob.... Helpful..
Thanks for watching!
Hi Rob just took some great shots of the moon, I love going back over your videos to remember settings etc. I'm an older guy with a OMD 10 Mk2, love the camera but often times need to recap some settings and tips. You're my Olympus encyclopedia on tap. Thanks for so much time and effort you put into these tutorials, as you say in the states awesome. Cheers, Chris from the UK.
Thank you! Didn't know "awesome" was kind of a states thing. Always fun to learn the subtle differences between our english.
Hello from Thailand :)
Could you please show how milky way photography with em10mkii?
Next time I head out for some astro photography, I'll give it a try.
@@RobTrek thanks 👍🏻
Thank you! Cant wait until next full moon to try it with my OM-D E-M10 MK III, I think it is capable! Just me with the mark III here?
I forgot it! And with my 40-150R...
It will work great!
Another good video Rob. Keep up the good work. Thanks
Hi Rob, just want to say a huge thank you for your time and effort in producing these videos. I have only had my camera a week but have learnt so much from you. I really appreciate your knowledge and the way you explain everything you do. Thanks again :-)
Glad to help!
@@RobTrek I had a Lumi FZ82 which can take pics of the moon clearly as the zoom is 1200mm, however it was not fulfilling me to take my 'own' photos. I never thought the Olympus would be able to capture the moon with the zoom I have, this tutorial has given me that confidence. I love your walk about videos as well :-) I cant wait to actually go out and start taking proper photos now!
Wow! Rob! This is just an excellent tutorial. For Oly fans, tutorials don't get better than this. I have actually told people about your channel; you never disappoint. Thanks so much. There's a full moon tomorrow night so it's perfectly timed. ;)
Thanks!
Thanks, I‘ll try it ! I never even tried to take a photo of the moon with my gear (E-M 1 Mk. 1 and E-M 5 Mk. 1) because i thought, this would save me from frustration. But now I will try it. Thanks a lot, Rob! You help me to become a better photographer. 😘 Excuse my English please, I‘m from Germany.
Thanks. Glad to help!
Thank you very very much for these instructions. I just took a photo of the moon with my Mark III and I am superbly impressed. A lunar eclipse is just starting off and I am super excited.
Glad it helped!
Very good video!! Thanx
Thank you for watching!
Hi Rob, This is a fantastic tutorial, you explain all the settings very clearly and what the implications are. Keep up the great work.
Thank you!
Great! Nice shots of the moon.
Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for watching!
Very nice. Some great moon shots too. I still use my Olympus PEN E-P5 and your tutorials are right on the money for that camera as well.
Thanks for the feedback! Glad these help on older pen models. -Rob
Rob, as always a great tutorial. When every I watch your videos I know my OMD 10 Mark ii is a capable camera. Thank you for your creativity and mentoring on this Camera system.
Thank you!
Great tips, as alway - please keep going! Thanks to your series I am starting to enjoy the EM10 and taking some half-decent pictures. BTW I tried shooting the moon a couple of days ago with very mixed results - now I know where I was going wrong :) - thanks.
Thanks! Sometimes it's just on missing step to get it right!
Your videos are an invaluable source of constant information, I just recently started taking photo's of the moon and your video is brilliant!! Thank you Rob! :)
Thank you!
Thank you for the tutorial. Supermoon was out this evening and I wasn’t able to take a decent shot since I’m still new with m43. I came from aps-c canon and I am still figuring out how olympus works. 👍🏻👌🏻
Thanks for watching! You'll get the hang of it in no time. Were you having trouble before or after watching my video?
Hello, this is very helpful. By "mild processing" what exactly are you doing?
I just added a little sharpening and adjusted contrast.
@@RobTrek got it thank you
To me it's kind of tough to find focus at night with the 75-300mm.
The moon is not really a "Night" scene, it's very bright and should be easy to focus on.
Dear Rob greetings from Greece !!! I really love all of your videos. Thanks for all the tutorials for Olympus Omd Em10 mkIi. I recently bought this camera and your videos were very helpfull understanding it. Thanks again, plz keep on going giving us tips and advises and really looking forward for your next upload.
Thanks!
I have an opportunity to follow your excellent tutorial, my difference is that I am useing an adapted 300mm prime lens, that should be fun on focusing. Thanks for your great video.
Luckily you only have to focus once! Just have a very sturdy tripod.
Has anyone seen a guideline for how many stops dimmer the moon is at totality versus a normal full moon?
If you use this method, the camera will adjust automatically but I don't have any references for the actual difference.
I’m trying to reset my em1mk11 but the only option is reset custom settings
Hi. In the "Shooting Menu 1", select "Reset/Custom Modes", then select "Reset" - Basic or Full. Basic resets exposure, Full resets all settings and Custom Settings.
Rob, just one question. Why do factory reset?
Two reasons. 1) To create a baseline for viewers in terms of settings so that we are on the same page and can exactly duplicate results. 2) Sometimes settings buried deep in the menu disable other settings I might need and it's too hard to remember which settings affect other settings or where the settings are. So if I reset, I can systematically change settings and develop muscle memory for the things I do most.
Awesome! Thank you very much Rob! You helped me to decide 👍 I just bought the 75-300, pretty impressed by the image quality, and was the focal lens i was missing on my bag 😄
Cheers!
It's a great lens for the money! Slightly weak in the corners, but I'm usually cropping in 90 % whenever I use this lens.
yeah! Still, we can't forget that its a 600mm equivalent, so...its quality is still pretty impressive for that focal length 😁
I have te 40-150 f2.8 pro, but sometimes it feels "short", and i dont have the teleconverter. So, this 75-300 sounded like a really nice deal 👌
Which lens do you used in here
I used the 40-150mm kit and 75-300mm kit.
Hi Rob, Thanks for this tutorial. I got wonderful shots of the moon last night. Would love to share those with you but don't know how. Thanks for creating such great tutorials.
Awesome. You can post them on instagram and tag me @robtreklens or email rob@robtrek.com
Lunar Eleven rule: @f11 1/iso i.e f11 @ iso 200 = 1/200 second f8 @iso200 =1/400 second f5.6 @iso200 =1/800 second f4 @iso200 = 1/1600 second
Thanks. I generally shoot full manual for astro images. I wasn't aware of the lunar 11 rule when I made this video.
Another good tutorial Rob, I have an em5 mark 2 but the omd em1 mark 2 seems awesome, but think it would be a lot heavier.
Actually doesn't feel much heavier because it's easier to hold with the larger grip.
Very interesting about backing off max zoom for peak sharpness. I have those lenses so will have to test. I’m guessing not the case for pro lens I shoot bulk of my 12-40 shots at 40.
Just a best practice for me. Based on the charts I've seen on various lenses including dxomark.com. I know it's definitely true on my 150-600mm tamron. It gets really soft at 600mm.
hi Rob, thanks for another great tutorial! Can I ask a quick q please... would these settings be ok with the internal teleconverter switched on ( 40-150 becoming 80-300???) Cheers for any help!
Settings would be the same. Just note that you won't gain image quality, just a cropped image.
@@RobTrek thanks for the great, speedy, info Rob!
hi rob! I have a quick question about focal lenght hope you can help me out. Do you think a prime lens of 400mm (800mm crop factor applied) is too much for moon shot?
That would be awesome! You'll need an extremely stable tripod and it's hard to track the moon, but you should get the shot!
Hi Rob, thank you for another very informative video - how about a follow-up on astrophotography?
Will do. Have to coordinate my schedule with a clear night. I have to drive about 3 hours to a place where there is less light pollution.
This is a really helpful and informative tutorial, and not just for us E-M10 ii owners. I achieved some gorgeous moon shots on my first attempt. Hand-held too. I wonder if you could also offer some guidance on photographing lightning. Or perhaps you already did and I missed it...
Thanks! No, haven't done lightning before. Kinda hard to coordinate my free time with weather like that. Maybe I can simulate it, I'll give some thought!
Make it simple Shutter priority 1/125 or 1/250 or even 1/500 sec. ISO 100 (200 mf3)to 400 if it works?
I use manual f10, speeds and ISO's as above on a Nikon 75-300mm lens and D7200 camera.
Have a GX7 and 45-150 lens. Never used it for this but would shoot equivalent settings in manual.
Cheers E.
There is a rule for shooting moons, called f/11. Match ISO with Shutter and set aperture to f/11. For example ISO 200, Shutter Speed 200, aperture f/11. It works because the moon;s light doesn't change. The way I'm doing it avoids manual mode and lets you use the lens's sharpest aperture.
But the way I do is the same 1/125 sec ISO 100 f10 or 11 all on manual.
This doesn't always work so M mode allows me to adjust any of the three variables to get the desired result.
I am not rubbishing your method - it works for you great. I will try it out on my mf3 camera next full moon.
Thanks for your insight 👍
Thank you for your feedback! Manual is always best.
Amazing. And no tripod!
Yes, thanks
Love it. Great, simple, perfect tutorail (as usual). I really mean that. Only issue is doing manual focus or auto-focus? Some people suggest manual focus but than focus is really tricky as the moon is too bright. It is important to dim the screen light and maybe use a red filter to adjust the eyes to the darkness....
I use autofocus because it works fine. Dimming the screen helps keep your eyes in night vision mode. I don't see a need for a red filter.
Hi Rob enjoyed this tutorial again. I have the same camera m10 mkII, but I noticed you can get -4 stops on your ev, I can only get 3 max either way. Has there been a change in the firmware or is there another setting I'm missing. Any help would be great.
Hi. The only thing I can think of is you can't do more than +/- 3ev in HDR mode. Let me know if that was it. -Rob
@@RobTrek no, same EV limits of 3 stops whether in HDR or normal shooting mode.
@@RobTrek I did find this on the Olympus site
"Still photo ±5 EV, movie ±3 EV, with selectable EV adjustment steps (1/3, 1/2, 1)
HDR Shooting, monitor and EVF displays only up to ±3 EV."
Just trying to find a setting that I may have missed
@@RobTrek ok I have got an answer from the OMD Education Group on FB. I had my dial function set on Flash Compensation instead of Exposure Compensation. So all sorted now. Thanks for your time, very much appreciated.
Hi what do you mean by mild processing and crop?
The moon is a bit small in the frame, so I cropped in to make it bigger. As for other processing, usually I just add a little contrast.
@@RobTrek on what app or program?
@@thelonesoldier4518 Lightroom CC
@@RobTrek thank you very much
Remarkable but... why didn't you use a tripod or at least a monopod?
Thanks. It's better with a tripod but I wanted to show handheld. I was at fast enough shutter speeds.
@@RobTrek Thanks!
Hand held moon shot, excellent! Would spot metering be what to use for a bird in flight, daytime?
If you can keep the bird in the center spot while its fyling! Tough to do,. Center weighted would be better. Thanks.
