Moon Shots
Mar 13, 2017 12:41:04 #
The first shot of the moon was taken a couple of nights ago from my driveway in Los Angeles using my Canon 100-400mm plus the 2x extender. The second shot is the moon raising over the Mojave desert I took last night. Didn't have a tripod with me so ended up propping the camera lens on it's lens hood on top of the hood of my car. I'm still learning but like seeing my improvements over time.

I love the second one but....man, better not go too fast on that road with dips like that!

Took the exact shot last night from Toronto Canada. Looks identical in exposure too. 150-600mm SigmaC on a tripod with wireless shutter release. (Mine was cropped to get the framing you got. My guess is at 800mm, you had to crop yours a little also to get the photo you posted)

Very different but two nice shots.
And you are learning to use whatever you have to to get the shot.
