Very nice tk!! Does your camera have an EV setting? If it does play with it. I am dialing my shots down to -2. Yours look just a tad dark. You might get a little more detail if you go lighter. But they are nice shots! This is the hardest time to shoot it. The brightness makes it hard to get the details.

Okay Erv here is the original without contrast. I thought I had more detail with the darkness but maybe not.

Sorry about that, thought I had hit store original. Yes I used remote hand release, but only the 100-400 mm lens at 400. When my extender comes in (too late for this show) my images should be larger! I focused throw the view finder then took the pictures in both regular and Live View. I tried various F-stops, but for some reason the moon wasn't as bright tonight as last night, plus it's turning more yellowish. Is that normal for the full Moon to be more yellow and have to go down an F-stop or two??
Hey, I thought I was prepared tonight, maybe I was too early.

Erv, that is really cool. I tried that with the pine tree here and just couldn't quite get it.

You are very close in the camera. Just use sharpening and a little radius. And mid tones, but very light on them. Mostly the sharpening will do it. Oh and a little definition.:)
