Daylight moon

[Michael Lloyd]

The moon almost at transit from this morning. About a 50%-ish crop

1DsMKIII (manual)
600 f4L IS (hand held. Braced on the eave of my house :) )

ISO 400
1/4000@ f4

Hey Michael,
Exposure and moon look pretty good....but a little small in frame. I see hand held......no TC? I remember your previous one appeared bigger........I'm more of a fan of crescents or full moons....but you could definitely use this for digital art (cutting and pasting) very effectively.

Hey Roman... Nope... no TC... I was trying to shoot a Yellow-billed Cuckoo that terrorizes me daily and the moon "showed up" :-)

[Robert Amoruso]

Yeah, I like this kind of stuff so I am AOK with it as presented.

[Michael Lloyd]

Thanks Robert.

I figured out why the previous moon shots that I have posted were a little larger in frame. I shot them with the 600, sometimes a TC, and with the 1DMKIII. The TC and crop body trumps cropped megapixels :-) sometimes. I've been after a daylight moon shot for quite a while... now if I can just get a 1st quarter, last quarter, and full shot during the day, preferably around transit, I can put together a 4 shot group :-)
