OP
Vibration might be the big enemy. A cable release or using the timer is your friend.

You could probably shoot the moon with it.
What's the range?
Enjoy!

(18,470 posts)7. Don't have one of those yet.
But I did take this of one of the barn doors from inside the house, at least 100 feet away from where I was standing.

I apologize for the quality here, I'm still getting the hang of this lens.
