I have been visiting this forum frequently for a while now. This is my first post here. Here are some pictures of the moon i took. All pictures are tight crops. Some post-processing was involved with PhotoShop.

I haven't quite mastered it yet - even the slightly extended range of the lens I am borrowing at the moment (Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4.5 DC MACRO) doesn't get me as close as I would like. However, that extra 20mm over the kit 18-55mm on my Nikon D40 is still an improvement, even if still not a patch on some of the other shots here:



Taken at 70mm - see Flickr for EXIF data.

That's as good as it gets unless we get one of those nights where the moon seems to hang really low or I get some way of zooming in closer.
