Moon and Mars

A whole week and nothing to post! I had to take one of my older "classic" 35mm cameras into Canon to repair this week and I decided to leave my new 20D for a spot of cleaning. I started this blog with the intention of posting from my new 20D and not "old" photographs from my earler 1n and 1nRS so I essentially had nothing to post without my trusty 20D.

This week has been fantastic weather, frosty at night and bright and sunny during the day, not the best weather to be without a camera. As soon as I got it back on Friday evening I nipped out go grab a shot of the moon and Mars, both very bright at the moment. So, today's post is just that, a shot of the moon and a shot of Mars, nothing by astonomical standards but not bad I thought for camera lenses. Both were taken with my 300mm 2.8L with a 2X tele-converter making the effective focal length 600mm (f5.6).
