The Moon is huge...is this photo a composite?
Nope - the focal length of the lens is 640mm (400mm on a Canon 7D, which magnifies it 1.6 times). The picture above is a crop of the original image to emphasise the moon's size, but it is the high zoom magnification that makes the moon look as big as it is.
Oh wow, didn't know that! Thank you very much for this valuable lesson, John...will remember it when deciding what lens I want next! ;o)
