When kids refuse to eat, parents take them outside and and show Ambili maman (moon) and promise that they will catch that moon for them if they eat. Even though our parents never kept this promise, we all ate like that and grew big. Big enough to try it on our kids. 3 years back when I pulled the same trick on my son, I didn't know that I would be able to keep it, and I did it in my own way yesterday.
I went out last night with my son, taking along with me my rarely used 500 mm Tamron lens and a tripod to give a try at shooting Moon. Even though this lens is not sufficient to reach the moon, (you will need a telescope) I could get a not-so-bad image of the moon, thanks to the pixel power of Canon 5D MK2.
I would like to shoot the moon again with a tele converter attached to the lens to make it 1000 mm and I hope that it will have more details, but for the time being my son is happy with what we got.
