This week, Thematic Photographic looks off... to a "Distant" subject. How does 240,000 miles grab ya for "Distant"? This shot is unique in that it's one of the first I took with my new 2x teleconverter. Twisted onto my 200mm f/2.8L it gives me a 400mm f/5.6 for about 25% of the cost of buying an actual 400mm f/5.6 lens. It also weighs in at under 10 ounces, versus 2.8 pounds for the 400mm lens. And frankly, if I'm gonna lay out the cake for a 400mm lens, I'll go the rest of the way and get the f/2.8L IS. (And as soon as I have a spare $6800 lying around, I'll do just that. And then I'll have an 800mm f/5.6 for just over half of the $11,000 it would cost me to buy that lens.)

Oh, what a lovely photo. I can never catch it so well.
Wow, that is incredibly crisp looking.
Pin sharp, lovely.
The moon may be far away, but your detail is fantastic.
aaah, i wish i knew how to take picture of the moon.... more specifically, had the equipment to do so.
You're lens equipment is awesome! Being a beginner in photography, I got overwhelmed with all the lenses you mentioned. But WOW, capturing the moon so perfectly is totally worth it. Magnificent! :)
~*~ Lovely ~*~
Awesome shot!!! So clear and brilliant. I love the nights where the moon lights up our property as if we were city dwellers.
