It was a lot brighter than normal, I took a photo of it but because of the glare it looked more like a solar system or something, I'll upload it later.

What settings did you use on those?
I did it the lazy way this time and had it on auto - shutter priority from 1/500 sec to 1/250 sec from shot 1 to 4 @ f5.6, iso 200 w/evaluative metering. It was so bright that when I did it any other way all I got was a big ball of bright light.

can only imagine what those lucky astronauts thought as they approached the moon and got to see the earth from the lunar surface felt..

Nice pictures :) they really bring it home that there's a giant ball of rock sitting in our sky.

Is there ever a positive moment in your life?
Yes I have a lot. But the moon thing was overhyped. I'm not being negative, I'm being real. The way people were talking the moon sounded like it would be a lot bigger. It looked normal from what I saw.

I've thought about that as well. They landed there on my 16th birfday. That along with the fact that I always wanted to be an astronaut makes me think of it every time I see that ball.

It didn't look any bigger to me either but it was a heck of a lot brighter. Shooting the moon usually doesn't cause me a lot of trouble but I had my share of it last night cuz it was so lit up. That along with the fact that I was cold and running out of patience didn't help.

**** Memo to self.... don't go out at night in your slippers and housecoat. ****
