    It seems that the moon and Venus are putting on a display again tonight. (Looks a bit cloudy here but we'll see!)

    What are the best setting to use on a 400d with a sigma 70-300?

    Heres my attempt. Taken using a 55-250mm lens at F8, 1/30 sec on ISO 400 by Canon 1000D. I'm loving the fact that i can even take pic like this - a masive jump in quality compared to my old IXUS I camera:D

    Just looking at it now, venus seems quite bright but there appears some haze around it.
