I put that photo through PhotoScape and it shows a lot of detail. Was curious what the 800 lens plus 1.4 reveals. Thanks for showing the original size.

We've examined the images you posted, there's no difference in color (other than the fact that smugmug are embedding an sRGB profile and we aren't). There is a difference in sharpness, we don't do any additional sharpening when downsizing, where as it looks like smugmug do. JPEG compression wise both images have about the same amount of JPEG artifacts and are of very similar compression levels (the smugmug file is slightly larger because of the extra sharpening).

Yes, I read another post explaining the problem. I use Safari which is ICC aware. so I can see the difference. I probably need to get more informed on this.

I like your moon shot a lot and I also like teh first one with the limbs of the moon pointing at a planet, (Mercury or Venus?)

The original Raw file (about 20 mb) can be downloaded at http://www.box.net/shared/ozhcrrsdof

The extender is the canon ef 1.4x II

I've only had the 800 lens for about a month, and this was the first time I got to use it. I had used the Wimbley Head II, on my existing Gitzo GT2530 tripod. Looking at the short clip that I took, I'm pretty sure I will be needing to get a bigger tripod for extra stability.

Thanks to all, for the comments
 
Both on mine and on Bob's images.

So this is only wehn I view in Safari that the colors differ. I have no idea which is correct. My monitor is a wide gamut model that shows more than the sRGB gamut so I am never exactly sure what other people are seeing with standard monitors and IE.

I like this composition.

Great job of reacting to an opportunity. Definitely deserved to be photo of the day. Regarding your comments about the uninteresting f/g & sky, I think there is some detail in the f/g still to be uncovered maybe and if there had been a more interesting sky, it may have obscured the moon. :)

The following photo was the "Photo of the Day" on the local King 5 evening news (Seattle). It is last months "blue moon" rising over Mt. Baker. Taken with 7D and EF 300mm f2.8. I wasn't out to get a moon shot but when I looked over and saw the huge orb rising behind the mountain I was glad I had my 300mm lens already mounted and had just enough time to setup the shot. I wish the sky or foreground was more interesting though.

To me, this is an interesting scene and a good composition. I think the composition could have been improved by moving the stream more toward the left side and not cutting off the trunk of the tree on the right.

This is a nice capture of the waves breaking against those pilings. The sky colors are very nice also. I can't help but notice that the f/g is soft from the motion of the water probably due to the small aperture & low ISO producing a slow shutter speed.

This has been a nice series for you.

Okay, a couple from my trip to Iceland back in October as I haven't been on here for a while...

We drove for well over 3 hours from Reykjavík ro Jokulsarlon Glacier lagoon in miserable rain and cloud, but about 15 minutes after we got there the sun came out through a small hole in the clouds.





And one more from the next day...

 
I really like this one.
 
First is fantastic, as good a shot as I've seen at Jokulsarlon. Was there much photoshop involved to get that background. Also where was the third taken?

There was a little photoshop involved with the background to make it a bit more contrasty, but it was already darker than the icebergs which helped a lot.

The third shot was taken from the edge of the Langjökull Glacier which is near(ish) Gulfoss.
 
Thanks, on my trip there I got to Gulfoss, but didnt make it to Langjökull Glacier , I'll add it to the itinerary for my next trip.

Other than the weather (and car rental costs) Iceland is almost the perfect landscape destination.

Thanks Ben. I had assumed it was Venus also but, consulting my astronomy software, I see that it is actually Antares (Mag. 1), the brightest star in the sky.

I downloaded the moon shot and opened it in LR26. I don't see any CA at the top. It does get fuzzy up there.

I pushed Luminance NR to 100, sharpening to 150, detail to 85, changed temp to 5500, upped black point to 35 and selected strong contrast on tone curve. Normally these are crazy adjustments, but the end result is very satisfactory (esp the black point which gets rid of the blue) & color temp.

Many thanks for taking the time to download the file and sharing your settings
Sadja, very much appreciated.

The version of dpp that came with the camera was 3.7.3 I think that it is readily available from the web already.
