Hey Buck, That moon shot was taken with my 300mm F/4 IS "L" and the 1.4x extender (420mm). I heard the same things about the 100-400mm ...so I steared clear of it. I have also read that the early models of that lens were to blame for it's reputation and Canon has improved it greatly since then.
Good luck with Nessie!

Thanks for sharing!
It was a full moon. I'm going to guess they were about 10-15 second exposures @ f/4 or so. I'm not real happy with them, but they aren't that bad for a first try. I want to try again this winter...

No climbing, just doing a nice solo round trip from Agnew to Garnet, via the River Trail, to Ediza and back to Agnew - over two nights...I just like getting out there and looking around.
However, being new, recently getting back into it all, I would dig on climbing with someone who has the experience...I dig adventure, but also, I hate heights, but love a challenge.

That Glacier Point one is neat! What power lense did you use?

Here's a shot taken of Arrow Peak over Bench Lake in Kings Canyon National Park. You can't see the moon, it was behind me.

Here's another shot taken under a full moon in Lake Basin, Kings Canyon National Park. These are so real it's not even funny, okay?

This one was just pure luck. I was in Pioneer Basin located in the John Muir Wilderness, sitting in my camp above the lake enjoying the stars when this supernova exploded in the sky. I barely got to my camera in time. How many times have you caught lens flare from a supernova?
