Moon with airliner

Hawkwind · Sep 2, 2005

Took this novelty shot last week, not a composite... just fortunate (didn't even know the plane was in-shot using mirror lock-up). Filled just under half the frame so cropped. Personally, moon shots are rather boring to me but they are a handy reference for testing new gear.... in this case a lens.

Cool shot. Just curious, what was the lense size and shutter speed?

Really nice with the plane... it would even look good without the plane. nice job.

Thanks. It's a 600mm f4 with a 1.4x tc f8@1/125

Thanks. Yep, looks like it's off to the dark side of the moon. Trouble is, it's the sort of image you could knock up in photoshop in a minute.
cheers,

nice shot!

pitty, yes......but it's also because of the fact it could be down on ps that makes it better......as i find anything that could have been real pics done on a comp, it sort of takes the impressivness out of the shot.....
