Hi everyone,

here is an image of tonight's full moon.
I was curious to see how the D200 with TC 17EII and 70-200mm VR would capture.

Here is the result:

I saw the moon on my home this evening and wondered if any of the dslrusers would capture it - well done CD!

We had a fabulous view of this one in Brisbane too.
Indeed after a disappointing visit to the city hunting pictures, I watched this wonderful moon rise - powerless to stop in traffic on the way home.
I had visions of this lovely golden orb, with Palms in an out of focus forground, but alas somethings must simply be observed, and enjoyed, and pondered as memories.

Thanks everyone,

some EXIF:

ISO 100
f/10
1/200s
the image was underexposed - I had to compensate with +4 EV

Cheers,

Nice shot CD!
Can see the details in the moon, amazing :)
Did you use a tripod? or make use of the VR?

I also tried some handheld shots of the moon on Friday night, but not as amazing as yours :D
