Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

G'day,

Never tried a shot of the moon before so thought I'd give it a go... Not sure on the results... :?

80-400 (no VR) on tripod, F13, 1/60th, @400mm, spot meter (maybe I should have used the SB800 :lol: ).

First go...

Cheers.

I think I see Neil Armstrong's footprint on there :) Yeah agreed, you should've mounted the SB800 to the right side, it's a bit dark there ;)

That's a nice sharp photo...tempted to get the 80-400VR but no $$ :S

Andrew this is a top shot mate, i tried this when i first got this lens and was amazed at the way the pics came out.

Great shot Mudder,

I've seen some Moonies in my time, but this is up there with the best from a Camera Lens :shock:

Well captured.

Mic. :wink:
