My Son-in-law came over tonight, I showed him the photo and he wanted to try taking a few shoots to see if he could do as good. I took him out and let him try. :) His shots we all blurry and out of focus. :) I then showed him up by taking the camera and taking 3 good shots. :)
Then I mounted my 1.4 extender to the mix and let him try. He gave up because he couldn't hold it steady and it was making him dizzy. :) I took 4 shots hand held that turned out every bit as good as the ones without the 1.4X extender. He threw up his hands and admitted defeat! :) :) :D The old guy whooped him again! :D

Blue Moon, you've got me singing the blues, without a love of my own..........
Messing around with a photo of tonight's Super Moon (8/10/14).
This is a Hand held shot, 400 mm lens, a 1.4X extender, and a 2X extender stacked together. The exposure was ISO 640, f/18, 1/400 th. of a second, with my Canon 7D camera.
400(mm lens) X 1.4 (extender) X 2 (2nd. extender) x 1.6 (camera crop factor) + 1,792 mm lens. :)
I just Had to mess with the photo by shooting with a white balance for Florescent lights an then adding a lot of blue into the photo in Lightroom. ;) :) :D That way I could do the Blue Moon song. ;) :) :D
Not too bad of a photo for that much magnification. Especially for a man that had a stroke a year and a half ago. :)

I was wishing I had a cool camera, the moon was bright orange from the smoke
KF, you can get into a very capable used DLSR system for $200-300. Getting invested into digital photography doesn't have to be like hunting.
