Every time I get my hands on a new body with higher pixel density I like to photograph the moon with it. I've been looking forward to trying it with the 7D. The phase isn't ideal (its a little too full, but oh well). Taken with the 800 + 1.4x TC.
The detail is pretty decent. The image has been processed (some curves, sharpening, micro contrast enhancement). There is some color noise visible, I killed all NR in DPP, maybe I shouldn't have done that.
Cool, it's prompted me to try the 7D + 500 + 1.4x + 2x tonight. I've done that on the 40D already as seen here and it worked well. This is a very light crop as it almost fills the frame. It'll be interesting to see how the 7D performs. Although it's windy so not the best seeing conditions.
Very nice - very nice detail. I can't wait to tug the old 400 out along with a teleconverter or two. That is exceptionally crisp, Mr. Bean.
Looks like a few good moon shots here - nice pics, folks.
I did manage to snag a handheld moon shot with my 7D and 100-400 the other night. The old zoom just doesn't do it justice like the big primes do, though. 100% cropping makes for a tough challenge, especially with this lens...
When you spend a minute on each, all these impressive images are indeed different in their expression as well
Haven't had any crisp nights for moonshots with my 7D yet, so I post an old one with 40D, 300/2.8 + 2x + 1.4x + 1.4x. (1200 mm) The crop is even interpolated(!) to allow for direct coparison with thedigitalbean's 800+1.4x on the 7D. As you can see, it is not even close in detail and sharpness, but considering this is a 300mm lens....
HOLY CRAP!!!!
