I really don't understand how you can get so close with a 400mm and have the moon [object] be so close. My buddy has a 600-1300mm and it doesn't seem like we could get a shot like that...

Awesome, by the way!

Awesome, by the way!That's the power of L. If that 600-1300 is the one I am thinking of (I assume Vivitar or Opteka or something), it's really not a good lens at all. The 100-400L will produce better detail at 400mm every time if you crop it and display it at 90-100% actual size.

Nice shot boomer. Great detail for a twilight moon shot.

If I ever lose my cloud cover AND the moon is out . . . I am going to try this, lol. Nice shot once again Dave.

Great moon shot, Boomer! I need to get out and take another shot of the moon now that I have a 100-400 lens...

Awesome, although the moon tends to get a little boring. I mean, after all we see the same side all the time. There's nothing new - EVER! :D

Seriously - Good shot. I like it.
