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!

fantastic capture CD

I have had a couple of goes at it with the same set up but struggle to get it real sharp.

what settings - tripod and VR off?

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.
Bugger.

Superb shot

Superb shot, Christiand. I saw this beatiful moon in my way to the theatre last night.

Thanks everyone,

some EXIF:

ISO 100

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

Hi Adam,

I was using the tripod and actualy forgot to turn VR off :oops:
I'll give it another go tonight - tripod without VR and or handheld with VR.
