BB-63 Battleship Missouri docked at Pearl Harbor. Japanese surrendered on this ship ending World War 2. Took this shot on the last helo ride I was on. Difficult to get a shot like this but I was lucky our aircraft had authorization to fly over controlled airspace.

Been awhile since I have taken a moon pic...tonite the sky was very clear and crips....got some good detail on the craters....

Did just that on my 27 inch work monitor. Looks awesome!Nice clean shot. It would make a nice desktop background especially if the monitor screen is +30 inch.
bastard, i just tested my tamron 150-600 g2 tonight. i feel so inadequate seriously excellent shot as usualBeen awhile since I have taken a moon pic...tonite the sky was very clear and crips....got some good detail on the craters....

my first real time shooting the moon, and i'm looking at my photos wondering why they aren't sharp...but my 1/2000s shots are excellent. that MFer MOVES at 600mm focal length! would be even more on a crop sensor and 1.4x TC!
also hilariously, lightroom's auto processing took the moon from looking like a moon to a space station....
as shot @ 600mm, 1/2000s, f/6.3, ISO 800
just a photo comment here that f/6.3 is the widest aperture for this lens at 600mm, and i feel the image has excellent sharpness. usually lenses will appear a bit soft at the widest aperture.
lightroom's auto-process - seriously does look like the death star
Colors still look great!Couldn't setup my tripod and get the settings right, so I took video instead -- not the best of the best quality, but hey:

The tortoise walked over to check me out and then shaded up in my shadow. I guess I have found my purpose in life: Shader of Tortoises.

Very cool. I'm jealous.played around with my tamron 150-600 G2 at the local park at sunset. all shot handheld. it's pretty heavy but the VR helps a lot at slower shutter speeds.
and now that i've gone through my photos, i knew i had a lot of ducks...but damn, basically ALL the photos are ducks.
