The Moon


The moon, originally uploaded by shianghan27.

The Moon, something that i wanted to take since i got my DSLR, but the lens that i had then (55-200mm VR) wasn't long enough.. Until I got the 70-300mm VR, then testing it out the other night last month, i was surprised to see the details in the moon, like the craters and lines.. COOL!!!

Took the photo handheld at 1/400 and F/8 i think.. it was a very bright night and clear too.. Of course this image is cropped, I think maybe almost 70% crop, but as long as I can see the details without resorting to buying a 1200mm lens I'm quite happy with cropping and resizing!

Yup, I love my lens!!!

Taken with Nikon D40 + 70-300mm VR
