The Moon II (Lot's O-Pictures)

[tc95]

April 8th

Now I am about to post a bunch of pictures taken....I did an experiment with Teleconverters....

Sigma SD14 mounted to a Nikkor 800mm F5.6

With; Nikon TC-301 (2x) - Tamron SP Pro 2x (2x) - Kenko Pro-300 (3x) in that order....

effectively giving me a 15,360mm F67 (had to shoot) ISO800 1/50
This shot is a little...:z04_975:...blurry one due to softness of the shot...and two everytime the wind would blow the camera would shack like I was in an earthquake...:rofl:

These shots were done with:

Nikon TC-301 (2x) - Tamron SP Pro 2x (2x) in that order...

Effectively giving me 5120mm f22.4 (again due to the high f-stop) ISO 800 1/50

Again there was no way to sharpen these up at this focal distance.....

Cool ! with a >15m lens, you actually captured a 3D look with the full Moon.

very nice shots! :z02_respekt:

I'm planning to buy one or two teleconverters and do something similar, but I don't think I'll get close to the moon. maybe to a bird in some treetop.
