Out of interest what were you working with here. Looking at this image again it struck me how sharp the image is across the board. Given that I would have expected the lens to be opened up because of the lack of light, you seem to have nailed the exposure.

Only used aperture priority on f/8 1/160sec -4/3EV iso200. it is surpising how much light you get off the moon
the sigma is sharper at f/8 than max aperture of f/6.3.
I added some sharpness contrast in aperture software
Taken handheld with a steady hand, the stabiliser did the rest

using AFS-35mm lens with D5000 in vivid mode f/13 1/125sec iso100 added a little enhancing in aperture software otherwise nearly as taken.

Thanks David, That's impressive, ISO 100, I would have put the house on you using a higher setting. Just goes to show what you can produce with a DSLR. Looking forward to having a look at some more of your work using the site addresses.

You mentioned using some aperture enhancing software, what programme would that be.

Thanks 60s rules Aperture 3 is photo enhancing software from Apple, its a fairly good organiser and enhancing program though there are quite a few things you can't do that you can in photoshop or Gimp.
I still use my Gimp for further editing at times

I played around with GIMP for a while but having used SC4 I could not get on with it. Good software but not as user friendly as Photoshop, if you can call CS4 user friendly. I take it you are a mac user.

Yes got fed up with my old windows vista and bought a iMac 27in few months ago upped the RAM to 12gb,
Awesome for editing lot of money but well worth it
Totally agree Gimp isn't very user freindly took me a while to figure out just some of the things you can do with it, Might get photoshop in the future
