Love the texture you've captured Wilkster! I have a D7100 and have been mulling over getting a 70-300 (or 70-200 or similar), looks good! What's the metadata for your shot? I assume you were at max zoom (300mm)?

Great shots Ironwood! See my comments re: Wilkster above - I see you have the same lens!

I was a day or two early (22 June in NZ) - and was busy the night of the actual 'Super Moon' so didn't get a chance to redo it properly with a tripod on the actual night. So pretty average I'm afraid... It was a drizzly misty night, and I shot it hand held (and I don't have very steady hands, even braced against a fence post!)...
D7100 | Nikkor AF-S DX 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED VR | ISO 800 | f/5.6 @ 200mm | 1/400

No yours is...
Perhaps Aussie computer screens are upside down.

300mm @ f8 1/160 sec @ 125 iso. On a tripod.

Thanks Wilkster - Great shot! Gives me an idea of what the 70-300mm is capable of!
And f/8 seems to be a good sweet-spot for zoom sharpness!

Hopefully better late than never, just to show that I was there!!
Thanks John.Great shots Ironwood! See my comments re: Wilkster above - I see you have the same lens!
The 70-300VR is a very nice lens, I like it a lot.
Just as a matter of interest because of the discussion about the moon looking different, I compared these shots.
The first one taken at 7.30pm 22nd June, the second taken at 5am 24th June.
I can only assume from these that it does rotate some, or at least our view of it changes as it moves across the sky.

Perfect. i wanted to do this but my organizational skills are quite challenged so the task of diving in through all those moon shots was not very inviting
Thanks for posting...
My guess is that relative to the shooter's position, the moon changes 180 degree between dusk & dawn.
And the angle you get to see depends on which part of the moon we see...
Eureka
But who gets to see the dark side of the moon???

These are all really nice. I'm kinda sad I forgot about the super moon until it was too cloudy and rainy to matter.

Thanks Guys. Good to hear good feedback - I'm seriously considering either the Nikon or Tamron as a new purchase (that won't break the bank) in the near future, to be my primary zoom to take over from my long-serving 18-200mm, now I have my 11-16mm & 17mm-55mm for my wide angle & mid-range shooting... So am keen to hear any feedback from people using either brand of zoom... Although I am still tempted by a 70-200mm f/4 (albeit at 3 tiem steh price)!
