    Putting that new camera to good use I see. Great shots? What lens? Camera settings? Care to add your Moon photo tips to the Weather photography tips thread!

    Superb shots there Ian! Never been able to get a picture of the moon as clear/sharp as that myself, makes me want a 500mm lens too although it would probably be a bit pricey just for the occasional moon shot :p

    Cheers man! Ye i was originally gonna just see what i could do with the kit lens and was like... Wait a fecking sec... theres a Huge zoom lens just inside! haha , me always just thinking of it as a birding lens never made me think it was also perfect for something like that!

    Ye I wouldnt buy one myself for just that. HOpefully get another good one when its goes full to a full Moon.

    I have filter paper too now so if the sun gets some more big sunspots on it im gonna try capture them too! :)
