Dec 09 - Man On The Moon

Space, the Final Frontier

One for Chris , who suggested that an almost full Moon would be a good subject. I think he’s rightly fed-up with my string of macros ;0)
It's not the clearest of Moon shots, but then what can I expect stretching a 500mm zoom with a 2x converter(?)


Also it reminds me of R.E.M’s ‘Man On The Moon’ which is now going to be hard to clear from the memory tonight!
If you believed they put a man on the moon, man on the moon
If you believe there's nothing up his sleeve, then nothing is cool

Nikon D300S ,Sigma 50-500mm f/4-6.3 EX DG/HSM
1/60s f/18.0 at 1000.0mm iso100 2x converter full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Blimey, I never knew it was that close....

Super detail in this. Love looking at the moon.

I have always been impressed with the Bigma, even with the converter you have retained a lot of detail

Great moon shot, good idea to use the converter to get that close.

A great capture of the moon. I'll probably have REM on my mind as well.
