Now THIS is the kind of shots I want to take!!! Do you use a telescope? Or is it just the lens you are using?

Gorgeous.

it's just the lens; the Canon EF 100-400mm F4.5-5.6L IS USM and Canon Extender EF 1.4x II = 560mm + 1.3 telephoto factor of the 1D MkII = 728mm

One of the best pictures of the moon I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of them. I'd love to see some more.

Keep up the good work.

Why full moon?

The Date of Chinese Moon Festival (a.k.a. Mid-autumn Festival) is on the 15th moon day of 8th Chinese lunar month. The new moon day is the first day of a Chinese Lunar Month. Since the first day of 8th lunar month is 9-14-2004, the Moon Festival is on 9-28-2004 in China time zone. The Moon Festival is on the same day 9-28-2004 in USA time zones, since the new moon day is on 9-14-2004, too.

Year 2004, the Chinese Moon Festival is on the full moon day. The full moon time is at night. If you watch the moon on 9/28/2004 at Chinese Moon Festival night, you should feel the moon is fuller than previous years.


The Moon Festival is a holiday in China. It's an occasion for family reunion. Chinese families like to get together to eat the moon cakes and watch the moon at the Moon Festival night. For the people are out of town or for ChineseΒ are from China stay in USA, they miss their family or the lover at home and shareΒ the same moon at the night of the Moon Festival..

This is an amazing capture!
I've tried so many times to take pictures of the moon, but with not having any knowledge on how to take night pictures to begin with, I haven't gotten very far.

that's what I love about this camera, is that at ISO 100 it's just as good at 100% as it is at say 30%
