Thanks, Petra. If you come to the desert, you're more than welcome to use it.

That was a 'quck and dirty' job last night. I used 'smart sharpen' in CS2, and I agree that it's a bit heavy. I will probably go back and redo it one of these days. I was basically pleased, though.

Tom,
Very detailled and sharp photo!
Is it me or the moon has some purple areas showing on the upper and left/midle? Never noticed that before.

Cheers,
Jaime

No, it's not you. I didn't desaturate the image when processing. Like I said, it was quick and dirty. I was really more interested in the performance of the lens, and was well pleased with that.

I'll do a better job and repost the image later.

Besides, everyone knows the moon is made of green cheese.

I'm not short. I'm concentrated awesome!

PacAce, mind sending that little lens on a world tour, like to Sweden? *grins evil*

I'll check with Kenny to see when his next world tour is and if he's going to be swinging by Sweden. Maybe he can take my 100-400 with him to give to you. :lol:

That's interesting because my image has the same purple colors. I though it was something in the air (and it still could be) but after seeing the same colors in Tom's shot, I'm wondering if maybe the moon is colored purple in some parts. If we can have a blue earth, why not a purple moon? :lol:

That was what I was realy wandering. Purple gas?? or purple in the moon?
Strange I never heard of it.

Oh, Tom...thanks for clearing up the green cheese bit, I was under the impression it was yellow cheese... :shock:

Yes, the moon is made up of yellow cheese and that's true everywhere but in the California desert, where the moon there is made of moldy cheese and hence the green color. :lol:

Great moons, y'all. I missed the full moon, having been sentenced to night shifts all weekend. Can't explain the purple - maybe the AWB was fooled slightly.

Caught it a couple of days before full, but its not my best moon shot. I had to reduce it to 1/2 size to obtain crispness, and I did push sharpening as high as I dared:
