shot in AV mode since it was dusky lol /serious business)
Unless you're shooting action and need to focus on the shutter speed, you should almost always be in aperture priority mode.

] More Mountain West grandeur  I like...can you link the original or explain how you did it? Not a simple B&W obviously...
Thanks!
I just played with it (lol) until I got the result here. Added a custom B&W layer in Photoshop and tinkered with the sliders. Then did more things in Lightroom...it's really hard to say exactly how it came out this way.

Agreed, his and MetalheaD's Moon pictures are awesome!
I wish I had 400mm of reach! Hopefully I will soon enough.
Taking pictures at night of the sky and Moon is a lot of fun. Startrails are fun too. I downloaded this free program here...
http://www.startrails.de/html/software.html
But I actually just remembered I had it, I'd forgotten about it. lol

Thanks guys. I really wish I had a 2x converter for the moon. 800mm FTW!!! I also want to try and use a CP for a moon shot and see if it ups some contrast in areas... But I always forget it - lol.
I guess when I converted it over to jpg the sharpening gave it a weird texture as the raw is a little cleaner then that...
I really like metalheads color on his moon shot - gives it a great feel.

Do it! You just can't take the 7D it's attached to.
Hopefully by then I'll have a 70-200 2.8 IS II...

can't tell if sarcasm haha. but if its a compliment then thanks 
This camera is pretty impressive for what it is. This is actually a HUGE leaf, like, probably 3 square feet so not so much macro. here is the color version...

My new Canon 70-200mm f4 with a 2x teleconverter, cropped a good bit.  I wish I had my dads telescope. I bought an adapter ring for my XT to connect it, but every time I was at the beach, it was a new moon or it was overcast. With the telescope, it was effetively a 1500mm lens at f/32, or something like that. The problem with that is at f/32, you have to do a really long exposure and the moon moves too fast for that. It'll just end up blurry.
Yeah, I know, that's the hard part. Since I don't have a motorized mount to put the thing on it'll show movement. I did take a few practice shots with it against the neighbors doorstep light, and it showed up, although kinda dim. I'm hoping a brighter moon would show up better. i guess I'll have to wait until next summer to try it.
Oh, and the other thing is that you're going completely blind when you're shooting with the scope because there is no feedback on the built in light meter or anything, so you're manually adjusting the shutter speed and ISO with a fixed appeture.
