i've been meaning to try an experiment shooting the moon using the 100mm macro and then also using the 200mm telephoto lens on the nex7 for comparison... this one is using the macro lens... it's smaller than i would have liked, although i guess i shouldn't be surprised...

for my get pushed challenge set by Nicole (@nicoleterheide) to: "step out the door, take 5-10 steps and take a picture from that spot" :)

for those who were wanting to see the collage from yesterday's shot, you can find it here (i redid it so it isn't quite as hideous as it was originally)...

@nicoleterheide - the view from my doorway is pretty mundane i'm afraid... i did try a few more terrestrial shots, but they were dull as ditchwater ;p

Really? I thought it was made of cheese? All this time, I had it wrong.

@amandal green cheese to be precise... the first time i did the white balance it turned the moon green ;p

Ah, but the focus and contrast is most excellent, even if it's small.
