The Moon Is Full

D3-061411-061
For this shot I used a Kenko 1.4x converter on the 80-400 VR. Who said it couldn't be done?
The camera was braced on our fence, since I was in a rush to get a shot.

Very lovely view of the moon, Vern. Really crystal clear and yellow, isn't it? Thank you for sharing that. I saw that coming up over the filbert orchard out back and thought YOU MIGHT be out " shooting " some shots of it........I was right!! ;)

This turned out great.

Super detail, Vern. We were watching it come up over Lake Tahoe - but didn't get great shots of it like yours. ;)

Very pretty. IT lights up our house so well. I traipe around in the dark before bed and it shines in all the windows. We don't need curtains here. Linda S

Nice harvest moon look Vern. There is a total eclipse of the moon tonight but I am not sure where it can be seen.

This full moon is called the "Strawberry Moon"

Excelent hand held!

Very nice. Great detail. The WB makes it look like an October harvest moon.

I shot several with no tripod. Your result exceptional!

Good onw the VR does a nice job on the moon. Looks like your seeing conditions were better than mine.

Excellent, Vern- this is what I want to do when I grow up! I'm really going to have to pay attention to the moon on the calendar and I still have your instructions on taking a photo of the moon! You are so awesome and so is this photo! Patti
