We had a magnificent looking full moon last night, and a clear sky to boot, so I decided to give my new 500mm lens a try. This is the result! It’s cropped somewhat, and the contrast was tweaked a bit in Lightroom and sharpened Photoshop. For those who care, this was shot with a Nikon D300 and Sigma 150-500m lens, zoomed all the way out to 500mm, ISO200, f22 and 1/30 sec. I’ve never really photographed the moon before, and I know this won’t be my last time! Enjoy!

P.S. I just learned from a Space.com article that February’s full moon is also known by different names, including the Snow Moon, Hunger Moon and Storm Moon. Didn’t know that! Kinda cool, don’t ya think?
