The moon.

Ok, how'd you get this shot? Very cool!

More as an experiment with the 1.6X FOV crop "multiplier" of my

newly acquired D30 than anything else, I decided to put both my 2X

and 1.4X teleconverters onto my 300 F4L IS and take a shot of the

moon. More impressive still than the 1344mm equivalent FOV, was the

fact that this was taken without a tripod, instead using a monopod

and image stabilisation at 1/80th of a second. The image is

deliberately underexposed to give more dynamic range to the moon's

surface. Any comments or suggestions?
