August 28, 2007 draws to a close with this monster of a moon...which put out enough light to allow me to get back to the truck without a headlamp

    SpiritWind,

    Your photo of the moon is excellent. What camera did you use to get such a perfect picture?

    SpiritWind,

    Ahh an SLR, and a good one too. I just bought a Canon 3S IS. I don't think I cacnget a moon shot like this, but I'll give it a try. Any pointers?
    What ISO did you use to take the photo?

    Opps, sorry to take so long to answer this..i just noticed your question.

    I'm gonna guess the ISO as being 800 or faster, I don't remember.
    Pointers for moon ? Super telephoto or telephoto, tripod, cable release and fast shutter speed of 1/1000 or faster. Just cause it's nighttime doesn't mean that a full moon doesn't kick off some light...fast shutter cause the earth is moving and so is the moon. Too slow a shutter will produce a blur.
