I wouldn't mind seeing the blacks of the night sky a little purer, but all else looks great. Sorry, can't name the tunes without doing a Google search!:p
Thanks Dave and Roman. I hope your holidays have been spectacular (in a good way).
:D Roman, I forgot about the song your hint brings to mind. The best hint for the ETC song that I was thinking of is the title of this post :)
I have to be honest. With the setup I was using this kind of shot is remarkably easy to pull off. I've shot the moon so many times that I know that I can can set the ISO to 100, f stop to 8-ish (so that I have plenty of DOF :cool: just kidding. I pick f8 because the lens seems to be a little sharper there... though that might be my imagination), and tweak the shutter speed so that I'm exposing around 2 stops under with my 600mm lens. I just winged it (with some forethought) with the 800 /1.4 TC combo and kicked ISO up to 200. It also helps the crop resolution when I have spare pixels to throw away... Next time I'll try some fill flash :p
