That's because you send it to your wife...(or at least you'd better!)

Yes...well mainly her....and Jenn Sterger.......lol

This is where I come to find out how the minds of strange men work. Most of you qualify and I usually get an answer. So why do you think I'd send pics back to you? I won't, you know.

Oh you wanted a serious answer. Don't know honestly but if I had to guess I would go for some primal way of gauging the chances of achieving a quick reproductive activity during the next encounter.

I witnessed a large Polynesian man drive his Harley Davidson into the back of, and almost through, a parked Dodge Sprinter today. Ugly stuff.

So it's a beautiful moon out there. Anyone know how to photograph it properly?

Yes, but it would have to be posted in the Garbage Can.

I'm serious. I can't figure out why shooting at 100 ISO is giving me more clarity than shooting higher. And I need a better zoom lens. I'm shooting the stinkin' moon with a macro lens...

Anything in here help?

5) How to photograph just the moon
To photograph just the moon by itself, without any objects in the foreground, you will need a long telephoto lens like explained above to magnify the moon and try to fill as much of the frame as possible. Even with a good telephoto lens setup though, you will most likely be cropping the final image, simply because only a telescope would be able to provide enough magnification to fill the entire frame. With your telephoto lens mounted in your camera, secure it on a tripod and point at the moon. Make sure that your tripod is good and stable enough to accommodate and hold your lens and your camera. When it comes to shutter speed, aperture and ISO, here is what I recommend for general use:
Camera Mode: Set your camera mode to full Manual Mode.
ISO: Set your ISO to 100 if you have a Canon DSLR and to 200 if you have a Nikon DSLR (basically, whatever base ISO you have in your camera). For most other brands, the base ISO is also 100. If you have a point and shoot camera, see if you can find a menu setting to set your ISO to 100. Make sure “Auto ISO” is turned Off.
Aperture: Set your aperture to f/11.
Shutter Speed: Set your shutter speed to 1/125 on cameras with base ISO 100, and to 1/250 on Nikon DSLRs with base ISO 200.
Lens Focus: Set your lens to manual focus (either through a switch on the lens or on the camera) and set your focus to infinity. Be careful while setting the focus to infinity, as some lenses allow focusing beyond infinity. On more advanced DSLRs such as Nikon D300, there is a handy feature called “live-view with contrast detect”, which can accurately acquire focus on distant objects. I have used it many times for my moon photography and it works great! If you do not have such a feature in your camera, then try setting your lens to the center of the infinity sign, then take a picture and see if it came out sharp by zooming in the rear LCD of the camera.
