Is it a 100% crop? If not, why keep the black space while you primary subject can be made larger?
It is indeed a 100% crop, unfortunately. It was taken with a 300mm, my longest zoom at the moment. I hope before the end of the year to get to 400mm zoom. I would ideally like to get a 500mm, but those are usually hard to walk around with and break the bank.
Nikolai, that's just beautiful! My 70-200 f/2.8L IS is arriving Friday. Paired with the 1.4x TC I might just have to post a FULL moon to this thread in a few days.

1/100, f9, ISO100, 400mm+1.4x on 1.6crop=896mm, tripod
funny...the tape (for autofocus) on the 1.4x eliminated EXIF transfer of 1.4x

Nice entry! I would sharpen it a bit in post, though..
And yes, that lack of EXIF with taped pins is a quirk, but I think it's minor hassle compared to a returned ability to have a confirmed focus.
This is not half Moon any more but this is the planet a few minutes ago over Setubal.
How is it ? Your is better !

I just saw that my last moon was shot with 400 ISO !
I did not wanted to do so, at all.
But the camera was set to 400 and I could not remember so.
In fact I didn't care to see which were the current settings.
A shame. :toni
I must reset all the main setting each time I change them.
I hope to be able to shoot the Moon again tomorrow with 100 ISO.
Thank you Tristan for the link. It is because of that clue that I recovered my error.

Nikolai:
Your Moons are always better than mine. Normal, as you are an expert and I am not. But tell me: which treatments have you done ?

Thank you for the entry!

okay, not as recent as it could be, but the sky was overcast here when the moon was at half... so here's my shot...
30D, 1/125 sec @ f5.6, Sigma lens at 400mm...

Not bad at all, thank you for your entry!
Similar comment, though: no need for so much of a negative space...

Is this going until July 22nd?

Generally referring to the second full moon within the same calendar month. Only happens every 2-3 years hence the phrase "Once in a blue moon."
Almost Full Moon as I see it from my house.:D
ISO 100 - 1/200 s - f/5.6 - 280 mm - tripod
But why two pics? 2d alone would do nicely
Enthusiasm ! I'll erase the 1.st !

Now of course I simply could not miss that chance ;-)
