Moon Photos

My daughter Ella went out to take some photographs of the full moon a couple days ago. This motivated me to get my Nikon 500mm prime lens out to take some photos as well. For a little more magnification I added my 1.4x teleconverter for a total lens focal length of 700mm. Camera settings for …
