Last night's moon rise. Linda and I were out trying to get better at taking full moon shots. We found some great instructions on this blog and gave it a try. I have a Nikon. She has a Canon. We did our best to get everything set up according to the instructions. Here came the moon (99% full; it was full on the 10th). Cameras on tripods. Cable releases set up. We followed the instructions, but this is pretty much what we were getting. When all else fails, explore as a child would and try other things. FINALLY, Linda has success. We found that just putting your camera on shutter priority; for the Nikon that's all I had to do and for her Canon, she adjusted her aperture along with the shutter priority setting.
Vuela! The moon (click on the image for a larger view). Of course, now I'm wishing I owned a longer lens...
