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. That way I could do the Blue Moon song.

Not too bad of a photo for that much magnification. Especially for a man that had a stroke a year and a half ago.

When I was a kid reading Sci Fi in the library..I figured we would have a base on the moon by the time I was grown. I imagined going to the space port and catching the red eye to the moon. Wonder what to pack for a honey moon..lol
