My first attempt on photographing the moon

March 28, 2010 in My Photos, Photography

Last night we had a very clear sky over Frankfurt, Germany so I tried to take a picture of the moon for the first time just to notice that it needs a really long lens. I took this shot with the Nikon 70-300 VR ranked out to 300mm and still this is a 1:1 crop. Beacause the 70-300 VR tends to get a bit soft at the higher end I sharpened the image quite heavily. Maybe too much?
