Tonights moon seeing as there was no clouds. Full moon due on the 25th but we are forecast for some cloud cover.Taken with the D850 with the 600f4 and 1.4tc. Instead of the usual removing a bit of colour or at least reducing it, here i have decided to up the colour a bit more- quite like it but im sure it will be a bit marmite for others.

That cheese looks a bit mouldy to me...

I like it, maybe a little too much colour but that does add texture to it. How much cropping did you do? I have the Sigma 150-600 on a Nikon APS-C (D300), so effectively a similar focal length to you, so I'd be interested to know if I could get a similar amount of frame filling as I have a quarter of the Mp. I presume you used an ND filter? If so, which? Very interested to find out more about the "how", thanks
 
I think the main thing is the focal length of 850mm with the 1.4tc on however the D850 has loads of pixels so a crop means you still have loads left to play with. This wasnt a big crop and i could take it much further and retain detail using the D850. No filters used. Spot metering, shutter speed not to slow and iso to allow shutter speeds.

could you possibly do that Mark,would like an even closer look if possible TA
 
I basically struggle to upload a raw image changed to jpeg on the forum as the files are too big, i have tried even dropping to a quality of 4 but still too big. So added this to flickr which i will remove in a few days.
