Moon taken in broad daylight... yesterday....

Ok.. you got to tell me more about this.

Just a moon shot.. with the (200x1.5)x2 setup!

Sooo Wrong. Exif?

Care to enlighten us?

If someone wants to go this way by spending a little bit less ( ), this is done with an old 400/6.3 lens (plus 2x teleconverter, but is not mandatory). These lenses (and also some 500/8) can be found for some dollar, and are sharp in the center, so good for the moon (brands: Spiratone, Hanimex, Soligor, Danubia... any, they are always the same). When they have a T2 mount, they can be even adapted to Nikon. Other brands are less problematic. Manual focus, but for the moon is not a problem.

Good call! I didn't buy my 70-200 and TCE to shoot the moon with... but it is fun. Also makes a decent wildlife setup .... not as sharp as a 400 prime, but very versatile.

I guess maybe he thought I had manipulated the images in some way....

I can't get the edits to show up in a JPEG due to compression. Perhaps you're having the same problem?

if you want to play with the original.. let me know, I will make it available. Not that big of a deal, though. These were just for fun...goofing around. I can't remember seeing any moon shots that were HDR processed.. thought I would give it a try to see what it looked like.

Oh sorry for the confusion, I wasn't trying to dig on you. Great shot. I thought you were being secretive with your answer. I don't speak Nikon.

Sorry if it came across wrong cgipson.
