last night was a full moon, and i had tried many times to take a picture of the moon with my film SLR. I never really got a pleasing shot. That was until now. It is much easier to get a good shot of the moon. I tried the Sunny f/16 rule, i don’t want to get to much into that as i didn’t have a lot of success with film or digital. If you would like to learn about it check Wikipedia.
I however learned later that its better to get a photo of the moon later at night, at least when its higher in the sky.
The first shot is some atmosphere distortion being it wasn’t to far above the horizon.
The second shot is a Half Moon but has much more detail in the craters since the sun light came from the right.
