I noticed the moon looked pretty good last night so I decided snap a pic.

If that's not big enough, click on the image to see the full-size crop. :wink

    Thanks! Nothing to it except for a good lens and stable tripod. :D The EXIF is in the image, but I'd be happy to answer any questions. thumb.gif

    I really haven't tried this since i got my new teleconverter... I forgot until i saw this, i should go out and try later tonight maybe. I remember the moon being bright enough when zoomed in to use a decent shutter speed hand-held. At least here in Dallas, TX.

    What did you use lens wise?

    OK, that's it--no more moon shots from me till I get a 400 or longer. Beautiful shot, Joel. thumb.gif

    @bruce: I use a free Firefox extension (Windows) called FxIF. You can right-click on most images posted here and view basic EXIF data. There are other similar extensions available.

    Thanks, Mary! Nope, no HDR, but I did a slight reduction of the highlights to even things out a bit.

    Thanks! I used the Canon 500mm F4 with a TC1.4 MKII. (I'm wondering whether the MKIII would given even better results.)

    Thanks, Bruce! You got your answer from Richard, but I'll concur that an EXIF plugin is a very useful thing to have.

    Thanks, Richard! My big lenses are for my wildlife habit, but they sure are fun for moon shots.

    BTW, I use the same EXIF plugin. And of course one can always go to my Smugmug gallery and find the EXIF for any of the shots there.
