Shooting the moon
When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie...
Largest full moon in 15 years.
Since the moon has an elliptical orbit once a month it gets closer to the earth than the rest of the month. This coincides with a full moon only once every 15 years. I was not able to snap the moon when it was low on the horizon but got this shot later that night. In the past I've tried to photograph the moon with my Canon 100-400 lens with both 1.4x and 2.0x extenders. The problem with this is that on a 5D you only get manual focus. This shot was made with only a Kenko 2.0 extender which allows auto focus with the 100-400mm and the 5D.
